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.

Queste Spaziose Loggie
ARCHITETTURA E POETICA NELLA TRAGEDIA ITALIANA DEL CINQUECENTO
“Queste spaziose loggie”. Architettura e poetica nella tragedia italiana del Cinquecento proposes an innovative interpretation of emerging units of space and time in Renaissance poetry and theatre.
Through the recreation of the relationship network between poets and writers, of the flow of shared ideas between architecture and poetry, of the innovations introduced in scenographies and their effects on the public, the book shows how the space-time reformulation of Aristotle's unity of action in not only the result of a misinterpretation of the Poetica, but also the symbol of a new way of interpreting the relationship between the written play and the performance.
Showing it, aside the investigation of the reception of Aristotle’s Poetica in an interdisciplinary environment, there is the analysis of many tragedies - the Sofonisba by Trissino’s, the Orazia by Aretino’s, the Adriana by Groto’s, the Re Torrismondo by Tasso’s -, which document, sometimes through the authors' poetics, how the performance is now predominant upon the action expected by Aristotle.
