Editrice La Scuola (sold)
Editrice La Scuola (1904 - present) is an Italian publishing house based in Brescia, Italy that focuses on education and related topics. Founded by a group of lawyers, intellectuals, and political figures, it was initially intended to allow for the continued publication of Scuola Italiana Moderna, a magazine aimed at primary school students founded by Giuseppe Tovini in 1893. The publishing house historically had a close relationship with the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore and helped to found a branch campus of the university in Brescia. In recent decades, it has also collaborated closely with the (secular) Università degli Studi di Brescia. It continues to publish periodicals intended for schoolchildren, as well as those on related topics such as pedagogy.
