History
The company was founded in 1982 by Pietro Marietti whose family had been involved in the book trade since 1820. The first books to be published were on religious issues and this theme has remained a fundamental part of the catalogue, with authors including John Paul II and Carlo Maria Martini.
In 1999 Elisabetta Dami joined the company. She had worked in children's publishing for twenty years and in 2000 the imprint Il battello a vapore appeared. Among its mainstays have been the Geronimo Stilton books, which have sold more than twelve million copies in Italy alone, and the illustrated Milla & Sugar books by Prunella Bat.
In 2009 the Piemme Freeway imprint was established, devoted to books for young adults. The first publications included Il silenzio di Lenth, a fantasy novel by Luca Centi, and Ho scoperto che ti amo by Ann Edwards Cannon.[1]
In 2010 the company published Take Me With You – Talks with Amanda Knox in Prison, written by the Italian lawmaker Rocco Girlanda, the first E-book in English by Piemme.
In January 2023, Piemme published Archbishop Georg Gänswein's tell-all book Nothing but the Truth: My Life Beside Pope Benedict XVI, coincidentally just days after the death of Benedict XVI.[2]
