The Campania Region announces the participation of Campania publishers in the next edition of the Turin Book Fair – scheduled from 9 to 13 May, in the spaces of Lingotto Fiere – and in the autumn at the Frankfurter Buchmesse, two leading events in the trade fair and publishing panorama of national and international relevance for the promotion of the book.
