Author to Head New Division at Atlantyca Entertainment

MILAN, July 16: Author
Pierdomenico Baccalario has been appointed editor-in-chief of Atlantyca
Entertainment’s content-publishing division, dedicated to developing material
for book products based on popular entertainment properties and characters.

Baccalario’s first
initiative is to develop content for Taffy Entertainment’s Code Lyoko books. The Italy-based animation production
company recently completed a deal with The MoonScoop Group’s Taffy
Entertainment to produce a series of novels loosely based on the animated
fantasy action-adventure children’s TV series.

Baccalario has worked as
an editor at several Italian publishing houses, including De Agostini,
Mondadori and Edizioni Piemme.

Pietro Marietti, Atlantyca
Entertainment’s chairman, said: “Pierdomenico has a tremendous gift and
appreciation for books, most certainly children’s books. We are thrilled to
have his expertise and creative talent to head this newest endeavor. An editor
of his caliber is certain to successfully lead us in achieving our projected
publishing goals.”
