1981

A year that marked a turning point. Giuseppe Del Bo, President of the Feltrinelli Foundation, died in April. His place was taken first by Giuliano Procacci and then, from 1988, by Salvatore Veca (above, left) who for many years had been one of Feltrinelli's authors and consultants. In 1981 there were radical changes and the Editorial Director and Executive Director, Gian Piero Brega, left these posts.
