Bologna Children’s Book Fair, Italy 2026

Bologna Children’s Book Fair enters its seventh decade with the same passion as always and with the pride of having created a network of initiatives ranging from Bologna to Shanghai, from children's books to licensing and, with its most recent initiative, BolognaBookPlus, serving general trade publishing.

On the occasion of our 60th birthday, we would like to express our thanks to all the publishers, all the professionals, and all the friends of the Bologna Book Fair: they are the real protagonists of this wonderful story, of these new chapters that are added year after year, of this inexhaustible excitement that is renewed each year, at each edition.
