Harlequin Mondadori Enterprises , is a 50-50 joint venture between Mondadori and Harlequin Enterprises established in 1981, with the aim of publishing in Italy the novels produced and distributed throughout the world by this Canadian publishing group.
Known mainly for romantic fiction series under the Harmony brand, which have developed newsstand sales of 8 million copies per year, Harlequin Mondadori has recently extended its business through the bookshop launch of new editorial brands aimed at women.
General Manager Laura Donnini oversaw in 2002 the introduction of the Red Dress Ink books that are characterised by brilliant, modern and ironic content based on the lives of contemporary young women and introducing Italy to the international success of "Chick-lit".
In May 2003 the brand "I Chiaroscuri" was launched.
This series is entertainment fiction at its finest in a range of genres -- thrillers, romance, historical, psychological -- published in both paperback and hardcover editions.
