TESTO 2027 in Florence: the book and publishing fair

TESTO is Florence's yearly gathering for the world of books and contemporary publishing. For three days, Stazione Leopolda brings together independent publishers, bookshops, authors and readers around a curated selection of titles and a programme of talks, presentations and public discussions. The fair blends a commercial showcase with cultural programming: conversations with international writers, panel debates, poetry sessions and spaces for editorial experimentation. The line-up is rounded out by Testofficina, a series of professional seminars and workshops aimed at people working in the book industry. Held every February, the fair takes place in the historic Stazione Leopolda, a short walk from central Florence. Opening hours run from 10:00 to 20:00 across the three days, with admission available as a day ticket or a three-day pass.
