Rome’s Annual Book Fair: A Celebration of Literature and Culture
The city of Rome is gearing up to host its annual book fair, Più libri più liberi, at the Nuvola conference centre in the EUR district from 4-8 December 2025. This highly anticipated event is now in its 24th year and promises to be an exciting celebration of literature and culture. The fair is a significant platform for small and medium Italian book publishing houses to showcase their work and gain visibility.
A Literary Programme Like No Other
The five-day literary programme is packed with over 600 events, including conferences, lectures, readings, theatre workshops, performances, and book presentations. This year’s theme, Ragioni e sentimenti (Sense and Sensibility), commemorates the 250th anniversary of Jane Austen’s birth, highlighting the enduring power of literature to evoke emotions and spark meaningful discussions. The fair’s diverse programme caters to a wide range of interests, ensuring that there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
A Platform for Small Publishers
Più libri più liberi was founded in 2002 by Italy’s small publishers’ association to provide a much-needed platform for smaller publishing houses to showcase their work. The fair has since become a staple of Rome’s cultural calendar, attracting book lovers, authors, and industry professionals from across the country. With its focus on promoting smaller publishers, the fair plays a vital role in supporting the country’s rich literary heritage and fostering a love of reading among the community.
Visiting the Fair
The fair will be open each day from 10:00 to 20:00, offering visitors ample opportunity to explore the various events and exhibitions on offer.
