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.

Vita di Germano vescovo di Parigi
The "vita Germani", probably the last and surely the longest among the prosaic hagiographic "vitae" by Venazio Fortunato, was published by B. Krusch for the second time in 1920, over thirty years after the corpus of the other vitae. The text is therefore way less normalized, probably destined to a final review, extremely complex to translate to the italian version which is here published, the first one ever in modern language.
Talking about contents, Germano is an exeplum, the one who, as and moore than the others Venanzio is focused on (Albino, Paterno, Marcello), has the prerogatives of the ideal bishop: austere in consumption, generous with alms, miraculous healer, elegant preacher, pastor for the people of God.
