History
History
After some titles published in the first collection, of suggestive name La civiltà perfezionata (The improved civilization), the publisher gained visibility with the publication in 1978 of Leonardo Sciascia's L'affaire Moro (The case Aldo Moro). From then on the number of collections grows, starting with La memoria (The memory), today practically a symbol of the italian publisher. Among the writers who have collaborated with the publishing house: Gesualdo Bufalino, launched in 1981, winner of the Campiello Prize and Strega Prize and Andrea Camilleri ("father" of Montalbano). From 1983 onwards Elvira Sellerio started to dedicate herself only to narrative and essay publications while Enzo Sellerio started to take care of art and photography publications. Among the collections that have gradually been constituted are also specialized series, such as La città antica (The ancient city), from classical culture, and the Sicilian Library of History and Literature (Sicilian Library of history and letteratura). By 2020 the Sellerio catalog has more than three thousand titles. After the death of Elvira Sellerio in 2010 the publisher continues to be under the direction of the founder Enzo Sellerio, together with his son Antonio and Olivia Sellerio, in addition to the researcher Salvatore Silvano Nigro.
