"The world saved by kids is a fundamental book by Elsa Morante: a book that contains many books in it, and that goes through different forms of art and speech. It is a manifesto and a poem, a celebration and an invective, a novel and a magical key. It opens all doors.
Many definitions, because it escapes any definition: it cannot be classified, just as the world of kids, boys and girls, to which the Salone has always been aimed, cannot.
The world saved by kids is a moving title and is, first and foremost, a message of hope. It is the world that the Book Fair aims to build, hopes for, and tries to build every day with inventiveness and dedication."

Words by Annalena Benini, Director of the Turin International Book Fair.

The key visual of the 2025 edition was designed by illustrator Gabriela Giandelli.
