Paolo Loffredo, sixth generation of a large family of publishers and booksellers engaged in the production and distribution of books since the late nineteenth century, creates in 2012 the new editorial company Paolo Loffredo Editore. The historical site was until the '80s in the heart of the historic centre of Naples in Via San Biagio dei Librai, lower Decumano and also known as the SpaccaNapoli.
At the beginning of the twentieth century, Giuseppe Loffredo decided to add book selling to the book production, which definitively imposed itself after World War II with the publication of manuals for the University and for the School that succeeded in establishing themselves soon throughout Italy.

Description
Ombre e presenze. Ungaretti e il secondo mestiere (1919 - 1937)
A book full of evocations and recalls, which intends to "confront, dutifully, with an intense activity alongside the primary and absolute vocation to poetry: Giuseppe Ungaretti art critic, appreciated lecturer and prefator, travel writer, sent special, literary journalist, politician, custom and current affairs ". «Life of a man», in fullness of meaning, also this "second job" in all its complex articulations. Ungaretti himself, moreover, had appreciated that the all-encompassing designation of "life of a man", so dear to him, extended to his entire and manifold activity as a "man of the word". [...] This book confirms and documents, with the extensive exploration of sources not infrequently known and rarely used, the exemplary and centrality of a poet, "the fruit of innumerable contrasts / of grafts" [...] that He wanted and knew how to deserve to be remembered also as a passionate and qualified witness of his time.
(from the Premise of Emerico Giachery)
