New Italian Books
Italy has just launched New Italian Books, a great site that promotes Italian literature and culture around the world, in the style of Books from Norway, New Books in German and New Spanish Books. The project has been launched by Treccani with the support of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation and the Centre for Books and Reading, together with the Italian Publishers Association. They publish newssheets, surveys, interviews and analyses on translations of books by Italian authors worldwide. They also offer information on the main book fairs and on grants for translations, as well as a list of literary agents.
With the idea of promoting the translation of Italian literature around the world, New Italian Books connects the different players in the publishing chain, in Italy and abroad, with the support of the Italian Cultural Institutes. You can follow them on Facebook and Instagram.
What a great new project this is!
