Artribune highlights six recent publications spanning architecture, music, advertising, disco culture, and science. Massimo Novati's 'Asnago e Vender a Milano' examines the architects who reshaped Milan from the 1930s to the 1960s, published by the Fondazione dell'Ordine degli Architetti della Provincia di Milano as the seventh volume in the 'Itinerari di architettura milanese' series.

A revised edition of Salvatore Coccoluto's 'Ezio Bosso. La musica si fa insieme' honors the late composer, covering his classical roots, film scores, collaborations, and battle with illness. 'COPYD19 – Creativi in quarantena' collects 70 lockdown stories from members of the Associazione Italiana Copy, with proceeds supporting healthcare workers' families via the Protezione Civile. 'La storia della Disco Music' by Andrea Angeli Bufalini and Giovanni Savastano explores disco's socio-cultural impact, from Parisian discothèques to Italo Disco.
