Magenta Publishers was established as the first English-language publishing house in Tuscany, one that continues to serve expatriates, students, and present and prospective travelers since 1991. Headed by U.S. journalist and editor Rosanna Cirigliano, Magenta Publishers is the sole publishing company in Florence owned and run by an American. It was founded to start the quarterly magazine Vista, Florence and Tuscany. Besides Vista, Magenta publishes a monthly events guide featuring in-depth reporting called Month by Month; books focusing on Italy from a bicultural perspective; and submits articles for our English-language column, Day, posted by the Italian daily La Repubblica on their Florence website. Our goal as publishers is to encourage cultural exchange between English-speakers and the Italian community through quality writing, photography and design. Magenta team members believe in journalistic integrity, reflected by the use of firsthand reporting to produce original content. As a professional and intercultural group of writers, editors, photographers and designers, Magenta aims to connect our readers to the Italian lifestyle in a way that is both compelling and easy to understand. By knowing which questions to ask, our staff is able to share their knowledge of what to do, where to go and how to get around in Florence and Tuscany.
