Ardea Editrice was founded back in 1994. The will and desire to publish books for pre-school children, especially to bring them closer to the first stage of reading, writing and arithmetic, took shape with a first book, followed by three more, meant for children starting from the age of three. The success of this project meant that other publications for primary school followed, in particular grammar exercises, mathematics, history and geography. Today, Ardea, operates nationwide and has a warehouse of about 2,400 square metres and an office area of 250 square metres, where the design and file production of the books take place. Graphic designers and editors work there, coordinating the work of the different authors. The catalogue for primary schools is comprehensive, ranging from textbooks to extracurricular books and several children's fiction books. There is also a small catalogue for secondary school.
