Rizzoli

Rizzoli is an Italian surname and a brand name used by several publishing and retail enterprises. The name appears in Italian culture as a family name and has been associated with notable figures in business and the arts.

Rizzoli is also the name of a major Italian publishing house founded in Milan by Angelo Rizzoli in the early 20th century. It became one of Italy’s leading publishers, producing books and magazines across genres such as literature, art, and design. The imprint expanded internationally through Rizzoli International Publications, which distributes Italian titles and publishes English-language editions in the United States and elsewhere. Over time the company has undergone corporate changes while retaining the Rizzoli identity.

Rizzoli Bookstore was the flagship bookstore in New York City associated with the publishing house. It was known for its strong focus on art, photography, and design titles and served as a cultural hub for book lovers. The store closed in the 2010s, though the Rizzoli brand continues in publishing.

Notable people bearing the surname include figures in business and the arts, reflecting the name’s Italian origins. The term Rizzoli may also appear in fiction, branding, or as part of cultural references linked to the publishing house.
