Founded in 2002, Più libri più liberi is where Italian independent publishers get the same floor space as the big houses: around three hundred exhibitors and a dense programme of talks, for readers who come to discover rather than to buy the bestseller.
It takes place at Fuksas’ Nuvola in the EUR district in early December — for many Roman readers it doubles as Christmas shopping.
