Overview
FBK Press is the publishing imprint of the Fondazione Bruno Kessler (FBK), a research foundation based in Trento, Italy. The imprint was created to make the research results produced primarily by FBK researchers available to a wide audience, extending the foundation's mission beyond the laboratory and into scientific and general readership. Its catalogue spans scholarly series, journals and monographs, with particular attention to the regional dimension and to younger generations. The publisher operates as an editorial office within the foundation. Publications are certified by the Editorial Boards of FBK's various research centres, and the imprint publishes in a number of languages. FBK Press titles are issued both as print books and as e-books, and the programme includes open-access publications alongside its series and journals. FBK Press serves several distinct audiences. For authors and editors it provides manuscript guidelines, style sheets for journals and series, and permission procedures; for booksellers, individuals and reviewers it offers dedicated services. FBK-affiliated authors can buy books at an author discount, while non-FBK authors may purchase copies of their own book at a discount off the cover price. The imprint's list includes journals such as the Annali dell'Istituto storico italo-germanico in Trento / Jahrbuch des italienisch-deutschen historischen Instituts in Trient, Annali di Studi Religiosi and ARO – Annali.Reviews.Online, as well as series including FBK Press, Fonti – Nuova Serie, Studies, Transfer, Quaderni and Quaderni di scuola. Recent and forthcoming titles announced on its website include Annali.Recensioni.Online IX, 2026/1, Raduni pericolosi by Umberto Cecchinato, Dalla carta ai pixel edited by Maurizio Cau and Sara Zanatta, and Il valore dei dati pubblici by Francesca De Chiara and Maurizio Napolitano. The publisher also maintains a calendar of presentations and news events connected to its releases. As a brand, FBK Press is best understood as the dissemination arm of a research institution rather than a commercial trade publisher. Its identity is tied to the Fondazione Bruno Kessler's reputation in historical, social and technological research, and its editorial choices reflect the foundation's centres and projects. The imprint's dual commitment — to the circuits of scientific communication through its series and to non-specialist communication through the FBK Press brand — defines its positioning within Italian and international academic publishing.
History
FBK Press is the editorial brand of the Fondazione Bruno Kessler, a research foundation headquartered in Trento, Italy. The imprint was established with the aim of making the research results of the foundation available to a wide audience, allowing FBK researchers to reach readers beyond their respective scientific communities. Its creation reflects a broader institutional decision to consolidate the foundation's publishing activity under a single editorial identity, complementing the scientific series through which FBK's research centres already disseminated their work. From its inception, the publisher has operated as an editorial office within the foundation. Publications are certified by the Editorial Boards of FBK's various research centres, a structure that ties each title to the research centre that produced it and gives the catalogue its distinctive institutional character. The imprint publishes in a number of languages and distributes its output through two complementary channels: the circuits of scientific communication, via its scholarly series, and the channels of non-specialist communication, under the FBK Press brand. The catalogue has grown around a set of journals and series. Journals include the Annali dell'Istituto storico italo-germanico in Trento / Jahrbuch des italienisch-deutschen historischen Instituts in Trient, Annali di Studi Religiosi and ARO – Annali.Reviews.Online. Series include FBK Press, Fonti – Nuova Serie, Studies, Transfer, Quaderni and Quaderni di scuola. Titles are issued both as print books and as e-books, and the programme includes open-access publications. FBK Press has also developed a service infrastructure around its list. Authors and editors are provided with manuscript preparation guidelines, style sheets for journals and series, and procedures for securing permission to reproduce material from other published works in both print and electronic versions. Volume editors are responsible for ensuring the compliance of contributing authors. Booksellers, individuals and reviewers are served through dedicated sections of the website, and the publisher maintains a calendar of presentations and news events linked to its releases. In recent seasons the imprint has continued to announce new titles and issues, including Annali.Recensioni.Online IX, 2026/1; Raduni pericolosi. Feste di strada, violenza e panico morale nella Repubblica di Venezia nel Rinascimento by Umberto Cecchinato; Dalla carta ai pixel, edited by Maurizio Cau and Sara Zanatta; and the forthcoming Il valore dei dati pubblici by Francesca De Chiara and Maurizio Napolitano. A presentation of the monographic issue Fiumi e foreste. Prospettive storiche sulle fluitazioni in Europa, edited by Jawad Daheur and Katia Occhi, was scheduled for April 2026. These activities illustrate the imprint's continuing role as the dissemination arm of the Fondazione Bruno Kessler, with special attention to the regional dimension and to younger generations.
