The book is still the main gateway to the narrative worlds and is surpassed only by the TV in its double version, free and paid. In 2022, 53% of the population between 15 and 74 years old say they access the narrative worlds through books (the percentage was 54% in 2017 and 55% in 2019), against 75% of the free-to-air TV and 62% of the Pay TV. The data are part of the research “Gli altri modi di leggere” (“Other ways of reading”) to be presented on December 9 as part of the professional programme “Più libri più liberi”, the National Fair of small and medium-sized publishing houses organized by the Italian Publishers Association and scheduled at the Cloud Convention Center in Rome from December 7 to 11.
