Più libri più liberi 2026: books at La Nuvola

A book fair for curious readers

Più libri più liberi is Rome’s small and medium publishers’ fair, organised by Associazione Italiana Editori. Its twenty-fifth edition runs from 4 to 8 December 2026 at La Nuvola. It is a place to move beyond a familiar shopping list, explore independent publishers’ catalogues and discover authors you have not encountered.

Book stands meet a cultural programme. Readers can understand an entire publishing approach rather than a single cover. Professionals can observe the themes and formats independent publishers choose and how they address audiences. Knowing Italian can help you participate more fully; check the language of a particular meeting in its description.

Make room for discoveries

The fair’s format includes author meetings, readings, discussions and other cultural events. Use the current programme for the exact edition. Individual guests and session descriptions matter more than overall scale: choose what you want to hear and allow time for books between events.

Our editorial suggestion is to prepare a short list of publishers or subjects without limiting your visit to it. An unexpected book may lead to a rewarding conversation. For a specific meeting, read the room’s access and participation rules beforehand. Exhibition admission and entry to an individual event can follow different conditions.

Five days at La Nuvola

The fair runs on 4–8 December 2026 at Roma Convention Center La Nuvola in EUR. Recheck hours, tickets and the programme on the official website. Use the venue name and current entrance instructions. Build arrival around your first chosen meeting, leaving time to explore.

For a journey from your hotel, provide its actual address, your visit date, passenger numbers and preferred arrival time. If you are flying into Fiumicino (FCO) or Ciampino (CIA), plan the airport-to-hotel journey and the event visit as separate stages. You can contact Hola Taxi to discuss the transfer request. Choose your last session, appointment or activity before arranging the return journey, taking your later plans into account.
