Valsusa Book Fair

An open-air bookstore in the heart of Susa

The Valsusa Book Fair is a celebration of books and reading promoted by the Valsusa Library System, highlighting the publishers, bookstores, and authors of the Susa Valley. In 2026, the event arrives in the historic center of Susa (Metropolitan City of Turin, Piedmont): for an entire day, Via Palazzo di Città and the surrounding areas host local publisher stalls, turning the town into a large open-air library.

Local publishers, bookstores, and authors

The core of the fair is the exhibition of publishing houses and bookstores from the valley and Piedmont: entities that preserve and share the identity of the region, ranging from local history and mountain themes to fiction, poetry, and children's literature. Alongside the exhibitors, the day is punctuated by book presentations and meetings with writers, providing an opportunity to engage directly with authors and discover the latest editorial releases.

A valley that fosters culture

The Susa Valley has always been a land of passage and cultural exchange, and this fair celebrates its intellectual vibrancy. For readers, it is a chance to browse titles rarely found in major retail chains, get advice from booksellers, and support small independent publishing. The setting of Susa, a city of Roman origin at the foot of the Alps, adds charm to an event that combines books, leisurely walks, and the discovery of the historic center.

Who is it for?

• Readers and curious minds looking for new releases and reading recommendations.
• Enthusiasts of local history and culture from the Susa Valley and Piedmont.
• Families and children, thanks to a selection of editorial proposals for younger readers.
• Tourists wishing to combine a visit to Susa with a cultural event.

A free, open-air event, perfect for spending a day among the pages and streets of one of the most evocative locations in the Susa Valley.
