Mondadori Bookstore

On Saturday 16 May at 10.00 am, Mondadori Store, Italy’s largest network of bookshops, will open a new bookstore in Marano di Napoli (NA): a space dedicated to books and entertainment, designed to offer the public a high-quality experience. The opening event will feature the traditional ribbon-cutting ceremony and will be attended by local officials.

Covering an area of around 200 square metres and featuring a modern layout, the new Mondadori Bookstore is open every day from 8.30 am to 1.00 pm and from 4.30 pm to 8.00 pm: it has been designed to meet the needs of all types of customers, with the aim of spreading culture and promoting reading. Readers are welcomed by the passionate booksellers at the shop in Corso Umberto I 79 and a catalogue of 10,000 titles, ranging from the great classics to bestsellers, including fiction, non-fiction and miscellaneous works.

“We are proud to be able to enrich the cultural scene in our local area, with the aim of creating new meeting places for people of all ages through a wide range of events and activities,” comments Margherita Mauriello, a Mondadori Store franchisee with over twenty years’ experience in the stationery sector.

The bookstore stocks all the latest releases, with dedicated themed sections designed to cater to every reader’s tastes, such as We are Junior, a space for younger readers featuring educational games and picture books to spark their imagination with the most intriguing stories; Just Comics, the section dedicated to the world of manga and comics; and My New Romance, the new concept aimed at fans of romance, one of the most popular literary genres of the moment. Finally, the shop’s range is complemented by a selection of books in their original languages, as well as a large section dedicated to stationery, toys, gadgets and gift cards. The bookshop will also host a range of events, such as reading groups, educational workshops and meetings with authors.

The Mondadori Bookstore in Marano di Napoli also serves readers online: customers can be updated on all the activities and events planned through Facebook page. They will also be able to get in touch with the bookshop through Mondadoristore.it digital services to check if a book is available, order it and pick it up in store or have it shipped to their home. Services include Zeercle, where people can sell their books, as well as CDs, vinyl records, video games, DVDs and Blu-rays, receiving a gift card for the value of the items in return, for use in bookshops and on the website mondadoristore.it

Mondadori Store is the largest bookshop network in Italy, with more than 500 stores in cities and smaller towns. Cultural centres throughout the country operating under the Mondadori Bookstore brand, both directly managed and franchises, alongside the bookshops owned by Mondadori Bookstore | MA, Mondadori Duomo and Rizzoli Milano. Mondadori Store can be found online at its e-commerce site, Mondadoristore.it, and through its book club.

The magic of reading comes to Teatro Ciak in Rome with a new Mondadori Store bookshop, which will be inaugurated on Friday 8 May.

An area dedicated to books and entertainment will be created next to the 400-seat theatre on Via Cassia, enhancing the audience experience at one of the most important cultural centres in Municipio 15, through the support of the largest network of bookshops in Italy.

With a floor area of 120 square metres and a modern layout, the new Mondadori Bookstore at Teatro Ciak was designed to meet the needs of a diverse range of customers. Readers will have access to a catalogue of around 8,000 titles, ranging from the great classics to bestsellers, with a selection spanning fiction, nonfiction and various other works.

The space will serve as a bookshop, exhibition area and meeting place all in one. It will feature a section dedicated to the historical Gialli Mondadori series and will also have a café. This exciting new addition will complement the theatre programme, which is already very popular with audiences, together with acting workshops, multidisciplinary events, film festivals and exhibitions.

Teatro Ciak thus confirms its status as a dynamic, multipurpose cultural centre, where culture and art come together as tools for wellbeing, social interaction, personal growth and engagement with the local community – thanks in part to the new Mondadori Bookstore.

‘When we renovated the former Cinema Ciak in 2017, we created a foyer with the idea of creating a multifunctional space for readings and acting classes, but our dream was to create a proper bookshop,’ say Michele Montemagno and Linda Manganelli, the founders and managers of Teatro Ciak. ‘In a vast neighbourhood of northern Rome, we firmly believe that the theatre and bookshop are essential services for all citizens. If theatre stirs our emotions and books encourage us to dream, we believe that imagination can take shape in a space that is open to the community, fostering a culture that is increasingly accessible and inclusive.’

The bookshop will stock all the latest releases, with thematic areas designed to cater to the tastes of every reader. There will be no shortage of crime novels, which are a hallmark of Teatro Ciak, just like the section dedicated to theatre and poetry.

There will also be plenty of space set aside for younger visitors, with the We are Junior section, which offers educational games and picture books to spark little ones’ imaginations, and the Just Comics section dedicated to manga and comics. A selection of stationery, toys, gadgets and gift cards rounds out the offer.

The Mondadori Bookstore at Teatro Ciak also serves readers online, as they can keep up to date through the Instagram and Facebook pages. In addition, customers will be able to contact the bookshop via the digital mondadoristore.it services to check the availability of a book. The bookstore will also offer customers the opportunity to place orders via phone. Services include Zeercle, where people can sell their books, as well as CDs, vinyl records, video games, DVDs and Blu-rays, receiving a gift card for the value of the items in return, for use in bookshops and on the website mondadoristore.it.

Mondadori Store is the largest bookstore network in Italy, with more than 500 stores in large cities and smaller towns. Cultural centres throughout the country operating under the Mondadori Bookstore brand, both directly managed and franchises, alongside the bookshops owned by Mondadori Bookstore | MA, Mondadori Duomo and Rizzoli Milano.

Teatro Ciak: the history

Teatro Ciak is a 400-seat venue that opened in November 2018. The goal of the restoration project was to preserve a venue for variety shows that first opened in the 1950s as Teatro Cassio, and then later became Cinema Ciak, a historic cinema in the Cassia district that was open until 2016.

After the cinema closed, the space was revitalised as a venue dedicated to culture, art and entertainment in the Via Cassia area of Rome, a neighbourhood rich in historical and artistic heritage but which lacked proper spaces for the cultural life of residents.

The Teatro Ciak stage has hosted numerous prestigious companies and artists such as Gabriele Lavia, Mariano Rigillo, Glauco Mauri, Roberto Sturno, Milena Vukotic, Cicci Rossini, Paola Gassman, Anna Galiena, Caterina Murino, Debora Caprioglio, Maurizio Micheli, Antonello Fassari, Giuseppe Pambieri, Paola Quattrini, Erica Blanc and many others.

Since 2022, the artistic director of the theatre has been Maestro Mariano Rigillo, ‘an extraordinarily great actor who has created sophisticated programmes that celebrate “teatro di parola”, new drama, young talent and leading contemporary actors and playwrights’ (2023 Enriquez Award for Artistic Direction of Teatro Ciak).

Today, Teatro Ciak is a leading cultural venue in the city, offering not only evening performances, but also matinees for schools, a literary café, educational activities, seminars and readings.

Amid this backdrop, a partnership with the historical Teatro Stabile del Giallo theatre company was formed. For twenty years, the company has been a key cultural institution in the area and, since 2018, has staged its productions at Teatro Ciak. Performances such as ‘12 Angry Men’, ‘A Perfect Murder’, ‘The Spiral Staircase’, ‘Sherlock Holmes’, ‘Rope’, ‘And Then There Were None’, ‘The Visitor’ and ‘The Mousetrap’ have been met with extraordinary acclaim from both audiences and critics over the years.

This collaboration also led to the creation of Accademia del Teatro Ciak, which has around 120 members who offer acting and performing arts workshops for all age groups.

The Mondadori Bookstore on Corso Buenos Aires in Milan opens today, a new landmark for book and entertainment lovers, serving the local neighbourhood and the wide public that animates one of Italy’s most important shopping streets.

This confirms our commitment to creating meeting places and promoting reading within the community,” Perna concluded.

The Mondadori Bookstore on Corso Buenos Aires enriches the cultural offering of the bookstore network of the Mondadori Group company in central Milan, joining the flagship Mondadori Duomo store in Piazza Duomo, the iconic Rizzoli Milano in Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, recently renovated last May, as well as the bookstores in Crocetta and Via Marghera.

The bookshop brings together all the latest releases alongside dedicated thematic areas designed to meet the tastes of every reader, such asWe are Junior, , a space for younger audiences featuring educational games and illustrated books to spark imagination through engaging stories; Just Comics, the section dedicated to the manga and comics phenomenon; and My New Romance, a new concept for those who enjoy the romanceuniverse, one of today’s most popular literary genres. The store also offers a wide selection of stationery, toys, music, gadgets and gift cards.

With the aim of fostering the cultural fabric of the Milanese neighbourhood and one of Europe’s longest shopping streets, the Mondadori Bookstore on Corso Buenos Aires will host initiatives and events designed to create opportunities for engagement and participation. Starting today at 6 pm, author Cordelia Evora will meet readers and sign copies of her latest book Bitter Sweet (Sperling & Kupfer).

Upcoming events include three book signings: on 11 May at 5 pm, singer Rob, winner of the latest edition of X Factor, on the occasion of the release of her new EP “CHAOS PERFETTO”; on 24 May at 3 pm, Corinne Wilson with The Last Meeting (Sperling & Kupfer), dedicated to all romance readers; and on 26 May at 6.30 pm, comic artist Jordi Lafebre with Io sono un angelo perduto (Bao Publishing).

From Thursday 19 March, Mondadori Store, Italy’s largest network of bookshops, will also open in Bracciano (Rome), bringing a new space dedicated to books and entertainment to the area.

This new franchised opening further strengthens Mondadori Store’s already extensive presence across the Rome area, in line with the network’s strategy to promote culture and reading through local socio-cultural hubs.

The bookshop will offer the community a place to meet and connect, hosting events with authors for adults, young people and children, as well as initiatives developed in collaboration with local schools and cultural associations.

“Drawing on more than eight years’ experience, since opening my first Mondadori bookshop in Manziana, I have come to see that bookshops are certainly commercial ventures, but above all places of culture, exchange and personal growth, spaces where each day can spark a new adventure, with opportunities to encounter and engage with different ideas and worlds,” says Manuela Bianchi, a Mondadori Store franchisee. “We are ready to embrace the challenges the local area will bring, with the aim of developing projects that bring a broader sense of culture closer to love for books and music, creating a natural blend of sound and words,” Bianchi concludes.

The new Mondadori Bookstore covers an area of 130 square metres and offers a catalogue of more than 10,000 titles, ranging from great classics to bestsellers, including fiction and a broad selection of Italian and international non-fiction. Particular attention is given to younger readers through the We are Junior format, which includes educational games and illustrated books designed to spark their imagination with engaging stories. The shop also features the Just Comics section, dedicated to the growing world of manga and graphic novels, and My New Romance, a new corner for readers who enjoy romance fiction, one of the most popular literary genres of the moment. The offer is further complemented by areas dedicated to stationery, toys, gadgets, gift cards and gift boxes.

The Mondadori Bookstore in Bracciano will also serve readers online: customers can stay up to date via its Instagram and Facebook pages. In addition, they can use the digital services on  Mondadoristore.it to check book availability, place orders, collect in-store or arrange home delivery.

Mondadori Store today opens a new neighbourhood bookstore concept in Milan, designed specifically for the historic Mercato Rombon, which reopens to the public following a major redevelopment project carried out by Sogemi and the Municipality of Milan.With this new format of proximity, the largest network of bookshops in Italy comes even closer to the interests and needs of readers in residential areas, creating a space in which the bookshop becomes a symbol of sharing and sociability, capable of dialogue with other forms of expression and togetherness.

The Mondadori Bookstore also contributes to extending the offer of the renovated Rombon Market by making it more transversal, contemporary and culturally lively.

“Mondadori Retail is proud to have worked with the Municipality of Milan and Sogemi on the reopening of Mercato Rombon, an important community hub in the Feltre district, in the Lambrate area,” said Carmine Perna, Chief Executive Officer of Mondadori Retail. “In line with our goal of promoting reading and creating new cultural landmarks, this opening is particularly meaningful as it brings a cultural offer that combines the world of books with a strong focus on the local area and its social fabric. This project also gives us the opportunity to evolve our bookstore format, demonstrating its flexibility and capacity for reinterpretation in a neighbourhood context,” Perna concluded.

The connection between the bookstore and the local community will be further strengthened through numerous initiatives and collaborations, particularly with nearby schools. Among these is the “Alunni in libreria (Pupils in the Bookstore)” series of events, aimed at making the store a reference point not only for families but also for younger generations, fostering both reading and cultural participation.

The new Mondadori Store covers 100 square metres, purpose-designed to meet the needs of the neighbourhood it serves. The catalogue of more than 7,000 titles includes great classics and bestsellers across fiction, non-fiction and international literature. There are also a number of specialised areas, such as the We are Junior section dedicated to younger readers, featuring educational games and picture books designed to spark their imagination through engaging stories, and the Just Comics area focused on the ever-growing world of manga and graphic novels. To further enrich the bookstore’s offering, there are also dedicated sections for the romance and fantasy  genres, popular with new generations of readers, alongside a wide selection of stationery, toys, gifts and gift cards.

The Mondadori Store at Mercato Rombon  is also available online. Customers can stay up to date via the store’s  Instagram and Facebook pages, and make use of the digital services offered by mondadoristore.it to check book availability, place orders, and choose whether to collect their purchases in store or have them delivered to their home.

The new Mondadori Bookstore is part of the ongoing renewal and development plan of Mondadori Store, Italy’s largest network of bookstores, with more than 500 shops ranging from major cities to smaller towns. A true cultural hub active across the country, Mondadori Store also operates online through mondadoristore.it and its bookclub format, combining a passion for books – always at the heart of its offer – with entertainment experiences, events and multichannel services, reaching over 20 million customers every year.

Mondadori Store, Italy’s largest bookstore network, is expanding its partnership with Zeercle, one of Europe’s leading providers of book buyback services. The initiative, launched exclusively in Italy last June, has already collected more than 100,000 used books in over 300 Mondadori Store locations participating in the project.

Starting today, customers can give new life not only to their books – from fiction to non-fiction, children’s titles to timeless classics – but also to CDs, vinyl records, physical video games, DVDs and Blu-rays. In return, they will receive a gift card corresponding to the assessed value of the item, redeemable at Mondadori Store bookstores and on Mondadoristore.it.

Mondadori Store and Zeercle support reading with #IoLeggoPerché

To mark the tenth anniversary of #IoLeggoPerché, Mondadori Store and Zeercle have joined forces to bring a love of reading to schools.

From 7 to 16 November, Mondadori Store will donate one euro for every Zeercle trade-in made during the campaign to the three schools partnered with its bookstores that receive the highest number of book donations as part of #IoLeggoPerché.

The total amount collected will be shared equally among the three schools and converted into gift cards of the same value, redeemable in Mondadori Store bookshops. The initiative offers an additional opportunity to enrich school libraries and nurture students’ passion for reading.

“At the heart of Mondadori Retail’s mission is the promotion of culture, which is why we have chosen to support, together with Zeercle, such an important initiative as #IoLeggoPerché, dedicated to encouraging reading in schools,” said Francesco Riganti, Marketing Director of Mondadori Retail. “Through this project, with a single gesture people can not only give new value to books, CDs and DVDs, but also make a tangible contribution to supporting school libraries, further strengthening the bond between schools and our bookstores across the country,” Riganti concluded.

Three weekends dedicated to Zeercle Days

But Mondadori Store and Zeercle’s activities do not stop here. Following their success across Europe, Zeercle Days are now arriving in Italy for the first time: three weekends featuring dedicated Zeercle corners set up in shopping centres. Customers will be able to drop off their books and other items appraised on Zeercle and receive a Mondadori Store gift card of equal value, plus a €10 shopping voucher to use within the host shopping centre (for deposits of at least €20).

The Zeercle Days will take place on 18–19 October at the La Romanina shopping centre (Rome), 25–26 October at I Gigli (Florence), and 1–2 November at Vialarga (Bologna). Full terms and conditions are available at mondadoristore.it.

HOW DOES THE ZEERCLE SERVICE WORK?

The service offered by Mondadori Store in partnership with Zeercle is very simple. Anyone wishing to sell their used books, CDs, vinyl records, video games, DVDs or Blu-rays – with the exception of school textbooks – can visit the dedicated website  and either scan the item’s barcode or enter its ISBN to receive an instant valuation.

Once the cart has been created, customers can bring their items to any Mondadori Bookstore participating in the Zeercle service. By providing the code to the bookstore staff, who will check the condition of the items, they will receive a gift card of equivalent value, redeemable in all participating Mondadori bookstores (see the list of participating stores here).

Mondadori Store is Italy’s largest bookstore network, with over 500 locations ranging from major cities to smaller towns. It represents a cultural hub active across the country, online through its e-commerce platform Mondadoristore.it and via its book club format. Alongside books – always at the heart of its offering – Mondadori Store provides entertainment experiences, events and omnichannel services, reaching more than 20 million customers every year.

Zeercle is an innovative circular economy service dedicated to books. Through a simple digital platform, Zeercle allows readers to sell their used books directly in partner bookstores, receiving an immediate voucher to spend in store. The service, already active in Germany, France and Austria, aims to give books new value, support physical bookstores and promote more sustainable consumption. Zeercle works with major retail chains and independent bookstores to build a European network for second-hand books.

On Thursday, 16 October, the new Mondadori Bookstore in Velletri (Rome) will open to the public. The city’s historic bookstore – now relocated to a landmark building in the city centre – will feature completely redesigned interiors and furnishings.

The new layout and atmosphere will enhance the store’s extensive selection of books, while the impressive glass wall in the event area, overlooking the striking Torre di Santa Maria in Trivio, will make the experience for visitors and customers even more engaging.

The new bookstore will be inaugurated in the presence of numerous guests and local authorities, including the Mayor of Velletri, Ascanio Cascella, Deputy Mayor and Councillor for Culture Chiara Ercoli, Councillor Cristian Simonetti, and Regional Councillor Giancarlo Righini.

With this initiative, Mondadori Store, Italy’s largest bookstore network, continues its path of renewal and growth, creating interactive spaces for the community dedicated to books and entertainment, in line with its strategy to promote reading and spread culture.

“The first Mondadori Bookstore in Velletri opened its doors back in 2004, quickly becoming a reference point for the community. Over twenty years of presence in the area have been marked by our love for books and culture, as shown by the many initiatives we’ve promoted, including the Velletris Librus Festival, now in its ninth edition”, said Guido and Aurora Ciarla, Mondadori Store franchisees. “Today, thanks to our new central location, we’ll be able to serve our customers with even greater dedication and care. The same approach and passion that have driven us to open other Mondadori bookstores across the region, in Lariano, Genzano, San Cesareo (inside the La Noce Shopping Center), Frascati in the province of Rome, and Cisterna in the province of Latina”.

Located at Corso della Repubblica 156, the new Mondadori Bookstore covers an area of 250 square metres and offers a catalogue of more than 18,000 titles –  from literary classics to bestsellers, fiction, crime, thrillers, fantasy, romance, and local publications, as well as a wide selection of essays and international works. Special attention is given to young readers through the We are Junior format, which features educational games and illustrated books designed to inspire curiosity and imagination. The Just Comics section is dedicated to the world of manga and graphic novels. The store also includes spaces for #BookTok readers and new generations of book lovers, as well as dedicated areas for stationery, toys, gadgets, and gift cards.

As further proof of the booksellers’ and Mondadori Store network’s commitment to promoting reading, the Mondadori Bookstores managed by Guido and Aurora Ciarla will once again take part in #IoLeggoPerché, which this year celebrates its tenth anniversary and already counts numerous schools and volunteers as partners.

Throughout the year, the bookstore will host events and projects involving local schools – such as the long-running “Alunni in Libreria” (Students in the Bookstore) initiative – as well as collaborations with educational institutions, libraries, and cultural associations.

In addition to these initiatives, the bookstore will also host meetings and book signings both in-store and in local schools.

Mondadori Bookstore in Velletri also serves its readers online. Customers can stay updated via the store’s  Instagram and Facebook pages, and can use the digital services of  Mondadoristore.it to check book availability, place orders, pick up purchases in-store, or have them delivered to their home. The store also provides a convenient phone ordering service.

The new Mondadori Bookstore is part of the ongoing renewal and expansion plan of Mondadori Store, Italy’s largest bookstore network, with more than 500 stores across the country – from major cities to smaller towns.

The Mondadori Bookstore in Cagliari will open to the public tomorrow with an entirely new look, and enhanced with a literary café: a place to meet, read a good book, participate in events with leading figures in the book world or stop for a break.

After the book bar, located at the bookstore entrance, you enter the shop itself, whose new furnishings offer readers a cutting-edge space dedicated to the world of books and entertainment.

This initiative once again shows the ability of Mondadori Store, the largest network of bookstores in Italy, to intercept the community’s needs and provide the city of Cagliari with a modern store capable of promoting culture in the area and creating an interactive meeting point. 

‘We are convinced that the literary café format at the Mondadori Bookstore in Via Roma is the right choice to offer something that is currently not available in Cagliari. We are in the heart of the city and, after the redevolpment works that has affected our area, we hope that not only residents, but also tourists, can find a pleasant environment to read and drink coffee as if they were at home,’ say Andrea and Roberto Felleca, Mondadori Store affiliates.

The inauguration of the Bookstore, which will take place tomorrow at 6:00 p.m., will be attended by the CEO of Mondadori Retail, Carmine Perna. Three special guests will also be present: Laura Spada, the young Matteo Porru and the anthropologist Bachisio Bandinu. These three Sardinian writers will accompany the literary café audience during the evening with a book signing.

The bookstore in Cagliari covers an area of 200 m² and has a catalogue of more than 12,000 titles, from the great classics to best sellers, including fiction, nonfiction and international books. Particular attention is dedicated to younger readers with the We are Junior format, which includes educational games and illustrated books to stimulate their imagination with the most curious stories, and the Just Comics department dedicated to manga and comics. Areas dedicated to #BookTok expand the range of products at the bookstore: areas for the younger generations of readers, along with stationery, toys, gadgets and gift cards.

The Mondadori Bookstore in Cagliari also serves readers online: customers can keep up to date through the Instagram and Facebook pages. In addition, customers can contact the bookshop through Mondadoristore.it digital services to check the availability of a book, order it, pick it up at the store or have it shipped, choosing from a catalogue of more than a million titles. The bookstore also accepts orders by phone from all customers.

The new Mondadori Bookstore is part of the plan to renew and continuously develop Mondadori Store, the largest network of bookshops in Italy, with over 500 locations in large cities and smaller towns. This cultural stronghold is active throughout the country, online with the Mondadoristore.it e-commerce site and book club formula, with an offer that combines books — which are always the focus — with entertainment experiences, events and multi-channel services, reaching more than 20 million customers every year.

Mondadori Store arrives in Chieri (Turin) with a sales point inside Il Gialdo Shopping Centre.

The new bookstore, which will be inaugurated tomorrow, will join the other 48 stores in Piedmont, including directly managed stores and franchises.

The largest network of bookstores in Italy is thus expanding its network, with the aim of spreading culture and promoting reading with reference points in the area for all book and entertainment lovers.

“I have always had a great interest in the city of Chieri and a few months ago, thanks to the help of Mondadori Retail, I was able to bring to life this new adventure that is about to begin,” says Gabriele Quassolo, Mondadori Store affiliate. “Our goal is to bring a young bookshop to the city that looks at young people, without clearly neglecting the most important sectors, such as novels, crime fiction and current affairs,” adds Quassolo, who brings with him longstanding experience in the world of books. “My parents began working with Mondadori Retail 20 years ago, opening a Mondadori Point in Settimo Torinese, which I took over 3 years ago, expanding the offering by moving to larger spaces,” he concludes.

The new Mondadori Bookstore extends over a surface area of 130 square metres with a catalogue of over 14,000 titles, from the great classics to best sellers, including fiction, with ample space for romance and fantasy genres, as well as international and non-fiction. Particular attention is paid to younger readers with the We are Junior format, which includes educational games and illustrated books to stimulate their imagination with the most curious stories, and the Just Comics section dedicated to the phenomenon of manga and comics. To expand the bookstore’s offerings, there are also areas dedicated to #BookTok for new generations of readers, in addition to those reserved for stationery.

The Mondadori Bookstore in Il Gialdo Shopping Centre is also available to readers online: customers can be updated via the Instagram page. Furthermore, they will be able to get in touch with the bookstore through the digital services of Mondadoristore.it to check the availability of a book, order it, pick it up in store or have it shipped to their home, choosing from a catalogue of over 1 million titles. The bookstore also offers telephone ordering services to all customers.

The new Mondadori Bookstore is part of the renewal and ongoing development plan of Mondadori Store, the largest network of bookstores in Italy, with over 500 points of sale spread from large cities to smaller towns. A cultural presence active throughout the country, online with the e-commerce site Mondadoristore.it and the book club formula, through a proposal that combines books – always at the centre of their offering – with entertainment experiences, events and multi-channel services, reaching over 20 million customers every year.

After a short wait, the Mondadori Bookstore in Chivasso is reopening in the centre of town, with more modern spaces to offer the city a new cultural landmark.

‘After 14 years of books, meetings and shared stories, Mondadori Bookstore in Chivasso is moving house. Change is a challenge, but also an opportunity: a new location, a renovated shop, a work culture that evolves without losing what has made us what we are,’ says Daniela Pentenero, Mondadori Store franchisee. ‘We have chosen to test ourselves, strengthened by the experience we have built over the years, with a desire to explore new spaces and welcome new opportunities. Our bond with readers remains strong, as does the attention we have always paid to meeting people who love reading,’ Pentenero concludes.

The new, renovated shop, which will be inaugurated tomorrow, falls in line with the strategy of Mondadori Store, the largest network of bookshops in Italy, to promote reading and create interactive meeting places.

In addition to a wide selection of books, the Mondadori Bookstore in Chivasso also stands out for its commitment to offering cultural services for the area. One of its many initiatives involves subscriptions to museums in Piedmont and Lombardy. The bookstore also places a particular focus on young people and education, which is why it is a member of the #ioleggoperché project, a national initiative to educate and promote reading that has helped enrich the book selection at school libraries throughout Italy.
The new shop also participates in ‘Alunni in libreria’, the Mondadori Store initiative that has placed Mondadori Store bookshops and schools in contact for over twenty years to get students involved in reading and culture.

The Mondadori Bookstore in Chivasso will also host numerous events. The first appointment is already scheduled for 21 March at 5:30 p.m. Antonella Frontani, author of ‘Il silenzio della marea’ will present her novel released on 21 February.
The new Mondadori Bookstore in Chivasso covers 100 square metres with a catalogue of over 12,000 titles, from the great classics to best sellers, including fiction, non-fiction and miscellaneous. Special attention is focused on younger readers with the We are Junior format, which includes educational games and picture books to stimulate their imagination, and an area dedicated exclusively to children from 0 to 9 years old. There will also be a Just Comics department dedicated to manga and comics. Areas dedicated to #BookTok, for the new generation of readers, as well as stationery, gift boxes and gift cards, also expand the store’s selection.

The Mondadori Bookstore in Chivasso also serves readers online: customers can stay up to date through the Instagram and Facebook pages. They will also be able to get in touch with the store through Mondadoristore.it digital services to check if a book is available, order it and pick it up in store, choosing from a catalogue of over 1 million titles. The bookstore will also offer customers the opportunity to place orders via phone.

The new Mondadori Bookstore follows the renewal and development plan for Mondadori Store, the largest bookstore network in Italy, with more than 500 stores in cities and smaller towns. The cultural organisation is active throughout the country, online with the e-commerce site Mondadoristore.it and the book club. In addition to books, its primary service, it also provides entertainment, events and multichannel services, reaching more than 20 million customers every year.
