Handing over the GuestScroll to the Philippines, Italy takes stock of the rich and eventful year as Guest of Honour 2024, which culminated in the presence at the 76. Buchmesse.

A series of engaging meetings in the dark, organised in conjunction with Fondazione LIA, to experience the emotion of alternative reading accessible to all.

The Buchmesse is just around the corner and soon the spirit that has guided the path of Italy Guest of Honour towards Frankfurt will be embodied inside the fair and during the fringe events through meetings between the leading protagonists of Italian and international culture.

The 76th Frankfurter Buchmesse (16–20 October 2024) will put a spotlight on current topics in the world of international publishing and on today’s socio-political issues. At the same time, it is expanding the venues that allow readers and authors to interact – with an emphasis this year on the growing desire younger readers have to engage with literature.

The year was 1988. The Frankfurt Book Fair was set to introduce the innovative concept of the "Guest of Honour Country", an initiative created to make the event more dynamic and engaging, extending its impact beyond the confines of the exhibition halls, and inviting the entire city to participate in a series of events that aimed to engage a broader audience than industry professionals alone.

At the Italian Pavilion, you'll find an exhibition dedicated to The Prince and its enduring influence over the centuries.
