What is the best thing about going to international book fairs?

The exchange of ideas and discussions with colleagues, discovering new titles... and a good wine and good food, mainly in Bologna...

 

What was your first job in the book world?

My first job in the book industry was typesetting and designing a book cover... but my dream since I was fourteen has been to become a publisher...

 

What is your favourite Italian food?

Italian pasta in every variation, carbonara, with mushrooms and truffle.

 

What is your favourite film based on a book?

The Lord of the Rings.

 

What would be your favourite holiday destination?

I think anyone who has read up to here suspects it... but of course, Italy, and especially Siena and Florence. Renaissance, the Middle Ages, good food, and a glass of Chianti...
