Scott Kerr speaks with Stefano Peccatori, president & CEO of Rizzoli International Publications, the famed Italian publishing house recognized for producing high-end illustrated books in fashion, architecture, art, and design and its world-famous Rizzoli Bookstore in New York City. Stefano discusses how its Milanese founder Angelo Rizzoli went from poverty to successful book publisher to producing films like '8 1/2' by Federico Fellini. He also talks about how why Rizzoli is "not just a luxury brand, but part of the culture of luxury," positioning Rizzoli in a competitive high-end coffee table book market, why physical bookstores have seen a resurgence in popularity, and the story behind producing a 300-page monograph on Italian clothing label Stone Island.
