The Salone Internazionale del Libro di Torino is proud to announce the 5th edition of “Dall’Italiano al mondo” – From Italian to the rest of the world – an initiative designed to support the translation of Italian literature abroad and to promote networking between translators all over the world. The symposium aims to offer a compelling showcase of books to discover or rediscover—interesting titles that often risk slipping through the cracks of business-as-usual publishing dynamics.
Italian fiction is in good shape, showing a 3% increase despite a period of decline of the market, as AIE (Italian Publishers association) recently announced in Frankfurt. “In a somewhat arduous scenario”, says Ilide Carmignani, curator of the DIAM symposium, “it is encouraging to register that Italian fiction is fairing well and that our translation rights have increased by 8% in in 2024, a result of Italy’s presence as Guest of Honour in Frankfurt last year and Italy’s second best performance since 2019. It is comforting to know that the interest in Italian book production is alive and growing. By promoting this annual conference, as Salone del Libro di Torino we hope to keep building bridges and creating connections, to arouse curiosity and promote exciting discoveries, allowing Italian books and writers the widest possible outreach.”
