Giuseppe Orioli

Giuseppe "Pino" Orioli (1884–1942) was a Florentine bookseller best known for privately publishing the unexpurgated first edition of Lady Chatterley's Lover and for his long association with Norman Douglas.

[3] Some of those and a number of previously unpublished works by other English authors, such as Richard Aldington, D. H. Lawrence and William Somerset Maugham, were published in Orioli's Lungarno book series.

To circumvent censorship, Norman Douglas urged Lawrence to have the book published privately in Florence and is believed to have introduced him to Orioli.

After several delays, including the time required for extensive proofreading by Lawrence, about 1000 copies of the novel were released in July 1928.

In his book Pinorman, Richard Aldington writes, "Pino did know English well and spoke it fluently, though with certain mistakes which gave it a peculiar flavour.
