Garzanti s.r.l.[1] is an Italian publishing company founded in Milan, Italy, in 1938.

It is known for publishing school textbooks, dictionaries (such as the Dizionari Garzanti), and encyclopedias (Le Garzantine).[2]

History

The company was founded by Aldo Garzanti in 1938 by acquiring the publishing house Treves,[2] whose editorial activities, in particular the publication of the weekly magazine L'Illustrazione Italiana, were continued.[3] In 1961, following the death of the father, Livio Garzanti took over the leadership of the company.[2] The first publication of the Dizionari Garzanti, the first set of Italian dictionaries published by a group of editors instead of a single author, dates back to the same period.[3]

In 1995 the company was acquired by UTET, later merged in 2002 with the Gruppo De Agostini[2].Since 2006, the company is part of the Gruppo editoriale Mauri Spagnol (GeMS).[1]
