Piemme Publishing Group
Edizioni Piemme was founded in 1982 on the initiative of Pietro Marietti, member of a family with a publishing tradition that goes back to 1820. The arrival, in 1999, of Elisabetta Dami with her twenty years of experience in children's books, led to a period of substantial growth for the company.
Since 2003, following its inclusion in the Mondadori Group, Piemme has expanded substantially, establishing itself as one of the leading players in both the children's and fiction and non-fictions sectors. In particular, the company is a leader in children's books thanks to the success of the series Il Battello a Vapore and to the character Geronimo Stilton who, after his first appearance in 2000, has become enormously popular both in Italy and abroad, where the books have been translated into 35 languages and published in 180 countries. Along with Il Battello a Vapore other new series and characters, often entirely created inside the company, have proved successful, such as Ulysses Moore, Century and Gol.
In the fiction area, the company has achieved extraordinary success with the work of Khaled Hosseini, whose Il cacciatore di aquiloni and Mille splendidi soli have dominated the best sellers lists for more than two years with sales of almost 3 million copies.
In the thriller genre the success continues of talented writers who have proved very popular with readers, such as Michael Connelly and Kate Mosse, while there has been an increase in the prevalence of historical fiction with consolidated authors such as Guido Cervo and Conn Iggulden. As well as successfully covering romantic fictions with titles such as Il Diavolo veste Prada and Lipstick Jungle by Candace Bushnell, author of the TV series Sex and the City, Piemme has successfully developed a non-fiction list with titles on current affairs, memoirs and emotionally compelling personal accounts.
The religious sector, which remains an important element in the company's output, Piemme, which includes among its authors Carlo Maria Martini, Antonio Socci and Camillo Ruini, has expanded its production to include books that deal with testimonies of faith and life that are of considerable interest also to non-believers.
During 2007 the company also began to build a paperback catalogue with the launch of the Bestseller series that brings together the best of Piemme's production.
