What QuiEdit does

Casa Editrice QuiEdit is an Italian publishing house founded in 1996 and headquartered at Via San Francesco, 7 in Verona, Italy. The company specializes in academic and scholarly publications across disciplines including archaeology, prehistory, history, pedagogy, sports, literature, philosophy, sociology, and linguistics, while also publishing general interest titles with a strong Veronese local-history orientation. Its catalog spans more than 1,200 titles organized into dedicated series (collane) such as C.R.E.S., Contemporanea, In America, THE Classics, and TaLC Teaching and Learning Center.

The company operates a WooCommerce-based direct-to-consumer e-commerce storefront at quiedit.it, offering unit-priced books (€12–€38) with 24/48-hour domestic shipping, and supplements book publishing with three adjacent service lines: the 'PUBBLICA' author publishing program (editorial submission guidelines and promotional marketing), QuiPrint (an online on-demand and offset printing service), and the Formation Area (educational and training services for authors and educators). Customer segments include university professors and researchers (notably affiliated with the University of Verona), general readers interested in Italian humanities and local Veronese culture, and sports professionals and educators, with marketing executed through Facebook, Instagram, email newsletter, and a content blog.

The business is privately held with no disclosed external funding, no parent company, no M&A activity, and no publicly disclosed revenue. With 16 employees, QuiEdit operates as a small, vertically integrated independent publisher reliant on its own editorial, printing, training, and digital retail infrastructure, with a hybrid segmentation approach spanning academic and general consumer audiences.
