        MMC EDIZIONI is a publishing house based in Rome.Born in 2001 as a generalist, along the time it has specialized almost exclusively in non-fiction, dedicated in particular (but not only) to the city of Rome.The main series, called "A walk with history" offers an alternative vision of the city through the historical reconnaissance and analysis of some of its urban furnishings that are not taken into consideration such as small fountains, clocks, inscriptions, sacred shrines, plaques. This series stands out for a particular graphic style and for the abundance of photographs, specially made for these books.Other series on Rome are instead dedicated to in-depth studies on specific historical and customs themes, or on the mysterious aspects of the city that also reveal its dark side.In the MMC catalogue are other non-fiction books on topics such as Music, Interculture, Anthropology and a series of stories for children encouraging solidarity, non-violence and respect for the environment

        POESIA CRUDA (VOICES OF SCAMPIA)

        Gli Irrecuperabili non Esistono (No One is Past Redemption)

        by Davide Cerullo

        What does living in Scampia mean? Growing up in a poor and unloving family, succumbing to the temptation of earning easy money and changing the course of destiny. Davide Cerullo narrates this and more, following the story of people that, just like him, have managed to rise up above the enslaving world of Camorra. However, he keeps in mind the ones that haven’t made it, the ones that have fallen, caught in the nets of a system that doesn’t offer any way out. Love and hope, these are the common threads of a book that ties together different fates, intertwined among the streets of a neighbourhood as tormented as it is rich in humanity.

        Il giovane Pergolesi

        by Lorenzo Fiorito (author), Silvia Piccione (editor), Pietro Marotta (art director)

        Giovanni Battista Pergolesi is twenty-six years old and consumption no longer gives him much time to live. He works with the few forces he has left on his masterpiece, the Stabat Mater, in a cell of the Capuchin convent in Pozzuoli. In the last hours of his life, his thoughts return to Jesi, the small town in the Marche from which he left twelve years earlier to go to study in Naples, and to that day in early March when he took a long excursion together with the spirit of his little sister Rosa, died at the age of two, to go to greet her spiritual father at the abbey of Chiaravalle and to fix forever in her heart the places of her childhood. A journey through the Marche countryside to discover himself, from which he will draw inspiration for his immortal works and which will mark the passage from the anguish of a difficult childhood to the awareness of being called to a great, tragic destiny.

        by Luca Cesari

        Pasta is Italy’s national dish and if there is one thing that every Italian menu around the world cannot lack – be it in Italy or in the United States, in France or in Hong Kong – is pasta al pomodoro. But what’s the story behind this dish everyone thinks they know so well? And what about pasta alla carbonara or amatriciana, or ragù alla bolognese?  A Brief History of Pasta will answer every burning question you may have on the history of your favorite dishes, complete with different recipes (the oldest, the most common, the most intriguing variations...) and a treasure-trove of anecdotes about how these dishes evolved, in Italy and in the rest of the world. Because there is only one thing that could not be left home, when an Italian decided to embark on an adventure abroad: a notebook full of pasta recipes.
