Publishers since 1907

Books are our historical activity: from Italian and foreign fiction to non-fiction, from poetry to classics, from children's and teenagers' books to large illustrated volumes and art catalogues; we publish school textbooks for every level of education and teaching sector, paper and e-books, fine and pocket editions.
A natural complement to our activities as book publishers is the chain of bookstores, a network of over 550 stores throughout the country.
We are magazine publishers: successful brands on paper or digital that bring Italian style to the world, also thanks to the international editions of our most famous title.

The digital challenge

We’re the top multimedia publisher in digital and social media in Italy, with a growing total audience as well as leadership in the most valuable vertical segments, such as women’s, food, wellness, fashion and education.

Our management

We create shared value

Since we undertook the path of reporting on our corporate responsibility in 2011, we commit every year to quantifying the value created by our business.

From the financial perspective, this is expressed through the economic value generated over the year and its redistribution not only to the company itself (economic value retained), but also and above all to the main stakeholders: employees, lenders and shareholders, suppliers and the public sector.

Awareness of our role

Alongside the responsible, sustainable management of our company, with respect for civil society and the environment, we wish to contribute towards reinforcing our country’s extremely significant intangible heritage of culture and beauty and broadening its horizons in terms of opportunity.
Because we have a profound sense that we too are part of this heritage.

In more than 100 years of history, we have worked not only to generate profit for the company, shareholders and employees: the sharing of value, through our products and services, involves all our stakeholders, from authors to readers, from suppliers to institutions and from the world of education to the media.

Awareness of our role and a sense of responsibility provide us with a stimulus for improvement, aiming at ever more ambitious goals

Mondadori on the Stock Exchange

The ordinary shares of Arnoldo Mondadori Editore S.p.A. have been listed on the Milan Stock Exchange since 1982.

With its admission to the STAR segment of the Borsa Italiana Stock Exchange in 2016, the Mondadori Group qualified as among the elite of Italy’s listed companies.

Our strategy

The path for the coming years will be characterised by increasing commitment towards book publishing, with a view to consolidating a position of leadership in Italy and greater presence on the international market, by expansion of our bookstore franchise network, which will contribute still further to reinforcing our book business.

And finally by building on the brands with the greatest scope for digital development, a prerequisite for a continued presence in such a complex market as magazines.
