The Enciclopedia Italiana di scienze, lettere ed arti ("Italian Encyclopaedia of Science, Letters, and Arts"), best known as Enciclopedia Treccani or simply Treccani, is an Italian encyclopedia, generally regarded as the most authoritative in that language. Encyclopaedias: Their History Throughout The Ages regards it as one of the greatest encyclopedias, along with the Encyclopædia Britannica Eleventh Edition and the Spanish Enciclopedia universal ilustrada europeo-americana.
The first edition was published serially between 1925 and 1936.[1] In all, 35 volumes were published, plus one index volume. The set contained 60,000 articles and 50 million words.[2] Each volume is approximately 1015 pages, and 26 supplementary volumes were published between 1938 and 2006.
Articles in the work are usually signed with the initials of the author. An essay credited to Benito Mussolini entitled "The Doctrine of Fascism" appeared in the 1932 edition of the Enciclopedia Italiana, although it was likely ghost-written by Giovanni Gentile.
