It will debut on September 5th with an essay by Tony Blair on the art of governing the new Silvio Berlusconi Publisher, a publishing house founded within the Mondadori Group with the aim of focusing on liberal and democratic thought. The publishing house’s activity will be based on a limited number of titles each year, divided into two series. The first, “Library”, it will collect important books to be published or republished, to be translated for the first time or to be retranslated, but in any case classic books, already recognized or destined to become so. “Free”, the second, is dedicated to contemporary authors who deal with the open questions of current affairs. In fact, the publisher aims to alternate, outside of any scheme, past and present, focusing, at the same time, on literature and non-fiction, Italian and foreign authors.

“Silvio Berlusconi Editore,” he explained Marina Berlusconi, president of the Group, “will have a very precise objective: to fight for the concept of freedom and give voice to its most varied declinations, while remaining absolutely distant from any form of political militancy. And 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.”
A choice, that of launching this new publishing house, linked to what the world is facing. “Today, going back to talking about freedom is more important than ever,” continued Marina Berlusconi. “Our society, the Western one, appears increasingly threatened: let’s think about wars, the strengthening of autocratic regimes, the aversion that many of us demonstrate towards the values on which we have built our history, starting precisely from the most precious good that we have, freedom. A good that today we see called into question.”
