SAMPOGNARO&PUPI
Sampognaro & Pupi is an indipendent sicilian publisher. Based in Siracusa, it has been founded in 2007 for the passion on books of its owners.
After several years of experimentation, in 2013 it defined its structure and editorial line, focusing on fiction and nonfiction (literary, historical, social, and aimed at personal growth).
Each year it publishes around 10 titles, carefully selecting publications to have an impact on its readers with reflections that help them understand how to live in today’s complex world. From the significant content to the contamination of modern languages, our fiction gives space to contemporary voices, among which a special space is reserved for Sicilian authors who tell a more modern and less stereotypical story of Sicily.
Our values
- honesty,
- continuous professional development,
- reliability,
- sustainability both for the products and for the rhythms and working methods of our team (mainly female)
OUR MISSION
We want to be one of the windows through which we look at the world and ourselves,
from a land that is often spoken of as a place of abandonment and not of construction
and which has always been a crossroads of cultural contamination.
We are resilient like the plant that represents us,
with strong roots
and the desire to grow.
