Turin 1911
100 years old without even feeling it
The Pregliasco Bookshop was founded in 1911 by the young Lorenzo Pregliasco, who bought a dusty second-hand bookshop in Turin, a few steps from Piazza Vittorio Emanuele.
In June 2021 two important anniversaries occur: our first catalogue turns 100 and Arturo Pregliasco turns 90.

Turin 2019
A new Open-Space on the first floor
After having crossed the characteristic spider's web gate designed by Riccardo Chicco, the visitor is greeted by an imposing and colorful mosaic that completely covers the walls of the entrance hall.
To the left of the entrance, which is reminiscent of the walls of an ancient Roman bath, the lift will lead anyone in the Bookshop who wants to get immersed in a world of culture.

"E mentre ci arrecano tanti vantaggi, non hanno bisogno di cibo né di bevanda e sono contenti di una povera veste e di un cantuccio della casa". (Petrarca)
