A recent Visceglia enterprise is addressed to quality scientific publications. Our collaboration with the Department of "Scienze Storiche Archeologiche e Antropologiche dell'Antichità" (Historical, Archaeological and Anthropological Sciences of Antiquity) at the "Sapienza" University of Rome, has allowed to publish the first of a series of scientific archaeological volumes. We supply all those who are involved in research, such as public and private bodies, academies, universities, single authors, with the possibility to publish at the best possible rate, works presented by academics and scientific bodies.
Moreover, Visceglia promotes and distributes such volumes through its regional and national representatives. For the promotion of new releases Visceglia has an updated address list, constantly and directly mailing to main Italian and foreign libraries specialised in geographical, topographic, sociological, archaeological, historical and historical-artistic fields and to research institutes and academies. The list of names includes Italian and foreign scholars and experts in the subject.
