Bordighera Press celebrates 20 years of publishing VIA: Voices in Italian Americana, Italiana, three book series (VIA Folios, Crossings, Saggistica), and the Bordighera Poetry Prize.

Bordighera Press publishes literature and poetry by and about Italian and Italian/American authors. Many of our titles are consistently utilized in university courses, and the journal, VIA: Voices in Italian Americana, is subscribed to by more than fifty university libraries in the United States and Canada. Bordighera Press continues to reflect the most current nuances in the literary world. The press was founded in 1989 by Fred Gardaphé, Paolo Giordano, and Anthony Juilan Tamburri.

At this juncture, we would like you to plan on reading from your work, but no more than one-two minutes. May I therefore ask that you respond to Anthony Julian Tamburri at the following email address by the 21st: [email protected]
