Founded by don Giuseppe De Luca, the Edizioni di Storia e Letteratura published their first volume in 1943. In a tragic period of Italian history, De Luca intended to keep 'alta l'indagine storica e letteraria, e risollevare erudizione e filologia'. The catalog is centered on the humanities, where the voice and writing of the 'masters' coexists with the research of young scholars, starting with 'Lo scrittoio del Petrarca' by Giuseppe Billanovich. Acquired in the 1990s by Federico Codignola, the publishing house has kept its course on an editorial line substantiated by valuable research and rigorous attention to the book, navigating with the dolia – the symbol of the publishing house – into the new millennium. The catalog, kept alive well beyond usual terms, ranges from classical and humanistic philology to medieval, modern and contemporary history, from documentary sciences to philosophy, from history of religions to European literatures; it is distinguished by attention to memoirs, rich series of correspondences – from Croce and Palazzeschi to Prezzolini, Sturzo and Ungaretti – and prestigious national editions – Svevo, Tozzi, Verri, Vico, Marino.
