EVENT DESCRIPTION:

From 28 February to 2 March 2025, the new edition of TESTO (How to become a book), the annual fair dedicated to the world of publishing, will be held at Stazione Leopolda. Text tells how a book is born: from how it is written to how it is published, how it is translated, how it is drawn, how it is sold to how it is read.

An event for readers and professionals that offers an in-depth vision of the world of books and brings the best publishing to Florence, with a selection of titles and literary novelties, guests from all over the world and a rich program of events. New for 2025 is Testofficina, the new Pitti Immagine project within TESTO, which will become part of the show's program and which, through seminars and workshops led by protagonists from the world of Italian and international publishing - from the type designer typographers Luciano Perondi at Maximage, a Swiss studio specializing in visual communication linked to publishing, from Sebastian Bugden of the English publishing house of philosophical and sociological essays Verso Books, to the comedian, humorist and television host Saverio Raimondo, including Lorenzo Mattotti – is aimed at those interested in exploring specific aspects of the editorial and artistic professions.
