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
Nola antica
With the monograph Nola Antica Vincenzo Quindici offers the city of Nola and all scholars a valuable synthesis, enriched by a lucid personal contribution, of the ancient history of the city, since its origins by the Ausones. The thread of the story unravels through the Oscan phase, the relations with the Etruscans and Greeks, the presence of Hyria. The research extends to the foedus aequum with Rome, sheds light on the siege of Hannibal and on the social war, in which Nola sided against Rome. Suggestive pages concern in particular the death of Augustus apud urbem Nolam and the refusal of water to the poet Virgil. Ancient Nola closes with the testimony of St. Augustine on the sacking of the city by the Goths of Alaric.
A precious document, like a legacy for those who want to continue questioning the past with an ethical tension towards the future.
