Since 1988 an International Book Fair has been held in what city in Italy?

   Rome
   Turin

   Florence

Your answer was: Turin.
You are correct!!


Answer: Founded in 1988, the International Book Fair takes place in Turin, Italy every year in May, lasting five days and involving several big and smaller publishing houses. Moreover, during the fair days, many events are organized in the showroom spaces, with the participation of writers, editors, journalists and cultural figures from all over the world.

2014 was the first instance the Holy See had been invited as a special guest to the event. Its publisher set up a booth featuring a large St Peter’s dome made of books. Widespread interest in Pope Francis can help relaunch Catholic publishing. The boost from Pope Francis has built upon the success of the works of Benedict XVI, which began to spread in secular environments.
