“We decided to give this new publishing house the name of my father, Silvio Berlusconi, because he based his projects, his achievements and his life on freedom. Without ever accepting compromises” added the entrepreneur.

Later we will have Ernesto Galli della Loggia and Walter Siti. We will also bring Alexander Baunov’s anti-Putinian manifesto to Italy.”

During its existence, which ended in 2012, they were numerous titles published for the series Utopia Librarya series of classics released annually starting from “The Praise of Folly” by Erasmus of Rotterdam.
