Guerra Edizioni

Guerra Edizioni is an Italian publishing house founded by Guerriero Guerra, dedicated to publishing texts for learning and teaching Italian as a foreign or second language (LS/L2), as well as children's literature and other educational materials. The company is based in Perugia, Italy, and has been a point of reference for Italian language pedagogy for decades. Its catalogue includes grammar books, exercise books, readers, and cultural volumes used in schools and universities both in Italy and abroad. In 1968, the company was acquired by Gastone Chellini from the Guerra family. Under the Chellini family, the publishing house continued to grow and diversify. Today, Guerra Edizioni is distributed by Glu Distribuzione, a company managed by the heirs of Gastone Chellini. Glu Distribuzione not only sells Guerra Edizioni materials and those of other publishers but also publishes under its own imprint, Glu Edizioni, producing materials for Italian language study and teaching, children's books, and more. The brand is known for its strong focus on Italian language education, with a wide range of titles for different levels and ages. Its children's books often combine entertainment with educational value. Guerra Edizioni's products are used in Italian schools, language institutes, and by learners worldwide. The company has maintained a family-run ethos across three generations of publishers, preserving the passion for books instilled by its founder. While the original Guerra Edizioni website (guerra-edizioni.com) exists, much of the current distribution and promotion is handled through Glu Distribuzione's online platform, which features new releases and a catalogue of educational and children's titles. The brand remains active in the Italian publishing landscape, particularly in the niche of Italian language teaching resources.

Guerra Edizioni was founded by Guerriero Guerra, whose passion for books led to the creation of a publishing house focused on educational materials, particularly for teaching Italian as a foreign or second language. The company established itself in Perugia, Italy, and developed a catalogue of textbooks, grammar books, and readers that became widely used in Italian language courses. In 1968, the company was acquired by Gastone Chellini from the Guerra family. Under Chellini's leadership, Guerra Edizioni expanded its reach and continued to publish innovative materials for Italian language learning. The Chellini family maintained the founder's vision, and the business remained family-run. Over the decades, Guerra Edizioni became a recognized name in the field of Italian language pedagogy, with its books adopted by schools, universities, and language institutes in Italy and abroad. The company also published children's books and other educational titles. In recent years, distribution and management of Guerra Edizioni's catalogue have been taken over by Glu Distribuzione, a company managed by the heirs of Gastone Chellini. Glu Distribuzione not only distributes Guerra Edizioni titles but also publishes under its own imprint, Glu Edizioni, continuing the tradition of producing materials for Italian language study and teaching, as well as children's books. The brand Guerra Edizioni remains active, with its website still operational, and its titles available through Glu Distribuzione's online store.
