The publishing house was founded in 1945 in Florence. Today Electa is the largest Italian publishing reality of the arts, for the richness and diversity of its catalogues and collections. The activity related to the exhibitions is even more important to demonstrate its constant presence in the artistic debate. In the last years Electa has consolidated its role as a witness in the art world, opening up to contemporary art, other forms of artistic expression such as photography, industrial design, fashion and contemporary architecture.
