Il Leone verde

We are a historic independent publishing house founded in 1997 with an open editorial office and bookshop in Turin, among the narrow streets of the Roman quadrilateral, with a catalog of more than 300 titles on maternity and early childhood, essays on the Montessori method, cookery and literature books, spiritual and philosophical texts.
Inside our editorial office and bookshop is one of the few baby pit stops in the city, a cozy, well-equipped corner where mothers can breastfeed, change nappies, rest, and consult books. We also organize children’s workshops and training courses.

The initial editorial objective of proposing unpublished texts, never translated into Italian or very little known, from the sapiential traditions has expanded over time and today we propose very different books, but with the same care and passion as before. Texts from the Western and Eastern Christian, Hindu, Tibetan, Islamic, Jewish and pagan traditions, mystical, metaphysical, and symbolic texts, from the hermetic tradition, and biographies, are flanked by fiction series, gastronomic paths between cuisine and literature, and essays on current affairs.
A prominent place on the shelves of our editorial office and family-friendly bookshop is reserved for books for new parents and early childhood professionals who believe in the importance of conscious parenting, to give support, ideas and suggestions to mothers, fathers, grandparents, and educators in search of advice and food for thought, essays on the Montessori method and illustrated albums, hardbacks and silent books for young readers.
