Books on investing in Italian

A bit of a long shot, but I'm hoping that there are some Italian people here who may be able to help. I'm looking for a present for a 14 years old family friend who is Italian. I wanted to give him a book about money or investing to get him interested early. The book will need to be written in simple language, suited for teenagers.

Any recommendations will be appreciated.

It's a great book but it feels that 14 y.o. is a bit too early for it.
Will keep it in mind, thanks for the recommendation.

It depends on how much they read, most 14-year-olds will be fine. I suggest giving them a financial incentive to read and discuss the book. It adds a fun challenge element, and it allows you to catch up with your family member!

But no essays or book reports.... too easy to cheat nowadays!

Bogleheads' Guide To Investing is an easy-to-read, comprehensive guide to investing. It is suitable for investors of any experience level, and would be a good choice for a first investment book. It's written in several short chapters in light-hearted, plain language. It does not go into a high level of detail on most subjects, but the information presented is well-chosen, supplemented with lots of charts and references to other books and information if you want to delve deeper into a subject. The book offers a lot of practical advice and examples, and also touches on the emotional aspects of investing

To a 14yo I would give a book about investing in oneself, not the markets.

I am too far from teenagers’s reality to suggest something sensible, but something that highlights the importance of developing skills, confidence and health would serve anybody much better at that age than worrying on what to do with their parent’s handouts

Just an opinion.
