Service company
Editorial design, editing, graphics and layout, data structuring and processing.
The origins…
Edigeo was founded in 1983 by the initiative of four partners – Marina Pazzaglia, Rossella Toppino, Marco Gatti and Michele Magni – who, coming from different backgrounds in the industry, decided to set up an editorial services company that would be able to provide publishers with more than just the normal editorial services of proofreading, editing, and proofreading.
In fact, the innovation brought by Edigeo was to offer itself to the publisher as a partner in the work of editorial design by participating in the conception of individual volumes or entire series and then offering itself as an integrated structure capable of following the project from idea to the final product.
This approach required from the outset to establish a framework of extreme clarity of roles: Edigeo performs many of the functions characteristic of the publisher’s work-the conception, the relationship with the author, editing, layout, and production control-developing a partnership relationship that has always proved particularly fruitful.
The future…
Edigeo began at the time when publishing was hit by the information technology revolution. In those years, the spread of personal computers and typesetting programs deconstructed the industry’s historic production chain. From the compartmentalization of roles and tools – the author who types the manuscript, the editor who corrects it on paper, the photocomposer who copies it and transforms it into a typographical text – we quickly arrive at a single ecosystem in which the text is already born in digital format and all the processing takes place with increasingly sophisticated yet affordable programs.
