About Microeditoria

Every November, the elegant Liberty halls of Villa Mazzotti Biancinelli in Chiari, in the province of Brescia, host the Rassegna della Microeditoria, the best-known national event dedicated to small and medium-sized independent publishing. Founded in 2003, the review brings together dozens of publishers, meetings with authors, literary walks, presentations, and awards such as the Premio Microeditoria di Qualità. Free admission since its first edition, to encourage direct contact between publishers and readers.

The independent publishing salon

In Chiari, in the Bassa Bresciana region, the Rassegna della Microeditoria has become over the years the main national reference point for small and medium-sized independent publishing. The event takes place in the Art Nouveau halls of Villa Mazzotti Biancinelli, the residence of the count who founded the famous Mille Miglia race, in the province of Brescia.

A story growing since 2003

The first edition was held in 2003 with over 3,000 visitors and more than 50 micro and small publishers. Since then, the review has grown to become the most well-known event for Italian micro-publishing, organized by the Associazione Culturale L'Impronta in collaboration with the Municipality of Chiari and with the patronage of the Province of Brescia and the Lombardy Region.

What to experience in three days

  • Exhibition and sale of catalogues from dozens of independent publishing houses
  • Meetings with authors and book presentations
  • Literary walks and "Festa sul ponte" (Festival on the bridge)
  • Premio Microeditoria di Qualità (Quality Micro-publishing Award) and Premio "Di parola" (Word Award)

Admission has been free since the first edition, a choice that reflects the spirit of the review: bringing readers and publishers closer without barriers, valuing bibliodiversity and the artisanal work of book making.
