On the occasion of the event "Photography & publishing in Italy" on January the 26th, we decided to shed light on the Italian publisher Witty Books.The founder Tommaso Parrillo will be part of the conversation with photographer Federico Clavarino and visual researcher Giaime Meloni.


Witty Books is an independent publishing house, initially named Witty Kiwi, founded in 2012 by Tommaso Parrillo.

Based in Torino in Italy, Witty Books promotes contemporary and visual arts by publishing photobooks as well as different projects including music ("Ear/Eye" is a project aiming to create a dialogue between a visual artist and a sound artist) and educational activities such as masterclasses and workshops.
