10 Italian editorial designs
Italy is one of the first countries in the world for the number of books published. Among the pocketable editions of essays and novels, the English brand Penguin is certainly one of the most known internationally, but it's important to remember the hundreds of series that contributed to the history of Italian publishing between the mid-1960s and the early 1980s. Inexpensive publications with great cultural and popular value, with covers by famous Italian designers and quality papers.
