Feltrinelli

LaFeltrinelli is an Italian bookstore chain (also known as Feltrinelli bookstores), with its first location opening in 1957 in Pisa. With 120 stores across 58 cities, LaFeltrinelli is one of Italy’s leading chains for books and music. The stores are categorized into different formats based on the products offered and their locations:

• Feltrinelli Bookstores: the most traditional Feltrinelli bookstore format.
• Feltrinelli Book & Music: a combination of books with music, DVDs, and video games.
• Feltrinelli Village: stores located within shopping malls.
• Feltrinelli Express: outlets situated in train stations and airports.
• RED La Feltrinelli: Short for “Read, Eat, Dream,” this format combines a bookstore with a restaurant and a selection of organic and artisanal food products.
• La Feltrinelli Point: A franchised format designed for small and medium-sized towns.

Despite its roots as a “traditional” bookstore chain, LaFeltrinelli has embraced the growing popularity of manga in recent years. This includes dedicating larger sections and corners to comics and launching exclusive variant editions available only in their stores
