Edition Raetia is an independent publisher based in South Tyrol, shaped by the region’s position between Italy and the German-speaking world.
Their programme brings together books that engage closely with Alpine life, regional culture and history, while also making these subjects accessible to readers beyond the region. Powered by a collaborative team of specialists, they blend diverse perspectives to curate deeply engaging literature.
A masterclass in alpine storytelling, bridging raw historical truth with the rich literary tapestry of South Tyrol.
Edition Raetia’s catalogue captures a multi-faceted spirit of their homeland, bridging everyday alpine culture with critical scholarly reflection. Their list includes books on the Alps, local traditions, herbs, and food, alongside historical and cultural non-fiction. A particular emphasis is placed on South Tyrol’s twentieth-century history and the ongoing questions of identity,language, and coexistence that continue to shape the region.
This courage in tackling challenging regional history has earned widespread literary respect, bolstered by a strong roster of distinguished voices. Edition Raetia views publishing as a bridge: between Italian and German-language cultures, local knowledge and a wider readership, and historical research and public debate.Its books combine meticulous editorial work with a strong sense of place - without reducing South Tyrol to an alpine postcard image.
