Meridione

Meridione is a Czech publishing house that releases literature from the Romance-speaking south, with Italian literature as its flagship focus. The company was started by three translators from Italian, Alice Flemrová, Sára Rodová and Monika Štefková, and aims to build an Italian-literature series that the Czech market lacks.

Its customers are Czech readers who buy print and e-books through the company's online shop, where it also sells a free cloth bag with purchases of four print books and offers delivery within two days. Revenue comes from book sales; the site also offers a newsletter subscription and lists discounted new releases.

The company was founded in 2022 according to the registry, and its registered seat is in Prague. The website mentions author meetings in Prague and Brno in 2026 and press coverage in 2024 and 2025 from lidovky.cz, kosmas.cz and life.forbes.cz. The site does not mention hiring or any offices beyond the registered seat.

Product: Print and e-book editions of translated literary fiction, mainly from Italy, sold through the company's online shop.
