collector's note:
the origins of the company date back to the ancient zapata typography, founded in the seventeenth century in turin, italy, and passed in 1802 to a company run by giovan battista paravia (1765-1826), who renamed the publishing house with its own name. His son giorgio, after obtaining the license of printer, in 1845 published one of the first printed periodicals, the primary educator, journal of education and elementary education, referring to the french journal d'éducation.
at his death the company was taken over by the widow and his cousin innocenzo vigliardi, who decided to expand the activity in the pedagogical field, then passing to the press of stories for children, especially thanks to the collaboration of emilio salgari as a translator, author and proofreader.
since 1911 he has published the latin dictionary campanini carboni.
