Overview
Gruppo Feltrinelli is an Italian holding company coordinated and directed by the holding Feltrinelli S.p.A. and led by President Carlo Feltrinelli. The Group operates across the book supply chain: publishing through Giangiacomo Feltrinelli Editore and associated imprints (Apogeo, Gribaudo, Crocetti, Marsilio, Rough Guide, SEM, Gramma, Codice Edizioni and, in Spain, Anagrama), with participations in Adelphi (10%) and Donzelli Editore (20%); retail through the Librerie Feltrinelli chain (over 120 stores in Italy); and promotion and intermediate distribution through EmmeEffe, a joint venture with Messaggerie Italiane. In e-commerce the Group is present with Feltrinelli.it, which in October 2017 was merged together with ibs.it and libraccio.it into a joint venture between Gruppo Feltrinelli and Messaggerie Italiane. Its integrated publishing offering also extends to education through its third Polo, into which 100% of the shares of Scuola Holden — described as Europe's first writing and storytelling school, founded by Alessandro Baricco in 1994 — were merged in 2024; the Polo also houses Feltrinelli Education and Prima Effe, Feltrinelli per la scuola.
