Overview

Angelo Longo Editore is an Italian publishing house based in Ravenna, founded in 1965 by Angelo Longo, who had previously run a historic bookshop opened in 1959. The publisher began by focusing on art and literary criticism, and from its earliest series it adopted a clear editorial policy: to provide tools of analysis, investigation, and information to a broad educated public, both Italian and foreign; to combine scientific quality and seriousness with agile and stimulating text structures; and to produce works that represented significant voices from different methodological currents. Over the decades, the company expanded its interests to include literary, art-historical, and scientific research, collaborating with universities and research institutions, notably the University of Bologna. It publishes significant series such as 'Letture Classensi' (since 1968, curated by the Biblioteca Classense), the journal 'L'Alighieri: rassegna bibliografica dantesca' (since 1993), and 'I quaderni del Cardello' (a series of Romagna studies from the Fondazione Casa di Oriani). Among its authors are Ezio Raimondi, Emilio Pasquini, Gerhard Rohlfs, Andrea Battistini, Giorgio Barberi Squarotti, and Pier Paolo D'Attorre. The publishing house remains active, offering a 5% discount on online orders and secure PayPal payment, and maintains a catalog that includes new releases such as 'Flavus Tiberis'.

History

Angelo Longo Editore was founded in Ravenna in 1965 by Angelo Longo, who had already been active in the book trade through a historic bookshop opened in 1959 by Cicci and Angelo Longo at Via A. Diaz 59 in Ravenna. The publishing house initially concentrated on themes and authors of local history and culture, including writer Eraldo Baldini, before broadening its scope to include tools of analysis and research in literary, art-historical, and scientific fields. It developed collaborations with research institutes, notably the University of Bologna. Among its most significant series are 'Letture Classensi', published since 1968 and curated by the Biblioteca Classense; the journal 'L'Alighieri: rassegna bibliografica dantesca', published since 1993; and 'I quaderni del Cardello', a series of Romagna studies from the Fondazione Casa di Oriani. The publisher has released works by prominent scholars such as Ezio Raimondi, Emilio Pasquini, Gerhard Rohlfs, Andrea Battistini, Giorgio Barberi Squarotti, and Pier Paolo D'Attorre. The company remains active, with its website offering a 5% discount on online orders and secure PayPal payment, and continues to release new titles.
