About sellerio.it

Sellerio Editore publishes books and eBooks, with a catalogue that includes Italian and translated literary fiction, crime novels, essays, biographies and historical works. Its first series, La civiltà perfezionata, was started in the early years, and the later Memoria series of small blue books marked a shift toward small-format publishing.

The publisher sells its titles to general readers through its catalogue of printed books and eBooks. The company is located in the Palermo cultural milieu in which it was founded.

The publishing house was founded in 1969 by Elvira Sellerio and the photographer Enzo Sellerio, with an initial small investment. Its founding idea took shape in discussions with writer Leonardo Sciascia and anthropologist Antonino Buttitta. Sciascia's book L'affaire Moro, published in 1978, sold more than 100,000 copies.
