Christian Marinotti Edizioni: 25 Years of Independent Art Philosophy Publishing

Christian Marinotti Edizioni, founded in 1998, has spent over 25 years carving a niche in Italian independent publishing with a focus on philosophy and art theory. Founder Christian Marinotti emphasizes the need for independent publishers to find a precise market position to survive. The catalog includes 24 series featuring contemporary Italian and foreign philosophers such as Emanuele Severino, Salvatore Natoli, Umberto Curi, Rocco Ronchi, Jean Beaufret, Fulvio Papi, and François Fédier, alongside classics like Nietzsche, Jaspers, Klages, Bachofen, Walter Friedrich Otto, and Albert Schweitzer. Flagship authors are Jean-Paul Sartre and Martin Heidegger, with dedicated series for their unpublished works in Italy. The press also publishes writings and conversations of key 20th-century artists, exploring the symmetry between philosophy and art. Upcoming releases include Jean Cocteau's "Scritti sull’arte," Bernard Huet's "Elogio della continuità in architettura," Fernando Espuelas' "Anomalie domestiche," a selection of Sartre's texts on colonialism, and Gianni Contessi's work on Capogrossi. Marinotti admires Johan & Levi for their strong presence in museum bookshops.
