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
«UMBRIA CARMINIBUS NON INHONORA MEIS»
PROSPETTIVE EUROPEE SULLA LETTERATURA DI PERUGIA E DINTORNI
This book is an essential contribution to Umbria’s literal history, starting from Humanism to the first years of the XIX Century: a story which has its specific traits in the vitality authors coming from marginal places have always shown, confronting themselves with a national and international environment.
[…]The book shows an historical and philological evaluation of John Butcher, his ability to front historical and textual different situations, his capacity to listen to different literal forms on the basis of the lived situations, relationships and cultural connections. He is also capable of focusing on “minor” writers and intellectuals, on marginal situations, in which he matures his writing experience. He’s able to recognize historical signs in Umbria and from Umbria to Europe, in a civil European dimension, which finds its definition in regional and local realities.
(From Giulio Ferroni’s Presentazione)
