Our Anthology of Ligurian literature edited by Alessandro Guasoni keeps growing: it now features works by more than 150 authors, from the earliest days to the present.

From the verse of the Genoese Anonym and Paolo Foglietta to the poetry of Fiorenzo Toso and contemporary authors, the collection spans centuries of Ligurian literature. Introductions accompany the texts, helping readers get to know the authors and the context in which their works were written. Every excerpt is accompanied by its Italian translation. A growing number of texts are also available in audio format, with readings by the authors themselves where possible.
