Mondadori Store

The new Mondadori Bookshop opens tomorrow in Rome’s historic Galleria Alberto Sordi

Mondadori Store continues to grow, confirming its position as the most extensive bookstore network in Italy with more than 500 directly operated and franchised shops

Mondadori Retail CEO Carmine Perna: “This opening is a milestone in the expansion of our network, which has been strengthened with a new socio-cultural centre in the heart of Rome.”

A packed calendar of public events, with book presentations, book signings and meetings with personalities from the world of entertainment

To guarantee an increasingly widespread presence across the country through a new bookstore format matching current trends and readers’ interests; to make a social-cultural service dedicated to books and entertainment available to the entire community; to use innovation and multichannel options to enrich the bookstore experience. These are the objectives of Mondadori Retail, which today opened a new bookstore in Rome in the Galleria Alberto Sordi, just a few yards from Palazzo Chigi.

With the latest store, the Mondadori Group company – which has opened more than 30 new bookstores in 2024, both directly managed and franchised outlets – thus takes another step in its strategic development plan, confirming its position as the most extensive bookshop network in Italy with more than 500 bookstores.

“The new Mondadori Bookstore in Rome is a milestone in the expansion of our network. We intend to continue strengthening our role as the key player in the business by creating socio-cultural centres throughout the country, from large cities to the smallest villages, for the widest possible audience,” said Mondadori Retail CEO Carmine Perna. “Reading and entertainment are essential tools for us to encourage sharing and interaction and promote dialogue between the generations. The new Mondadori Bookstore in Rome also demonstrates our ability to systematically integrate all our sales channels – direct, franchised and online bookstores – and the importance of the synergy among everyone in the network. This approach was decisive in achieving a result that is particularly important for us, the opening of our 50th directly owned bookstore, which we are delighted to celebrate today,” Perna concluded.

The new Mondadori Bookstore

With the opening of the new Mondadori Retail bookstore in the Galleria Alberto Sordi, Mondadori Retail also consolidates its presence in Rome, where it has been active for more than twenty years with 6 direct bookstores and 17 franchised outlets.

The new Mondadori Bookstore is located in the Tritone arm of the monumental Galleria Alberto Sordi owned by Fondo Megas, a fund held 100% by Fondazione Enasarco and managed by Prelios SGR – a company in the Prelios Group and one of Italy’s leading asset managers – which in 2023 launched a major redevelopment and restyling project to turn Rome’s historic “drawing room” into a meeting place and landmark of the capital, as well as a strategic crossroads for shopping and tourism.

The store offers an assortment of 20,000 titles, from classics to contemporary fiction, and occupies a total area of 450 square metres. The format applies the distinctive Mondadori Store concept, in full harmony with the architectural elements of the Galleria. The bright spacious environment is distributed over three floors, providing perfect visual continuity with the surroundings and the city with its mixture of ancient and modern.

The ground floor displays all the latest from the book world – bestsellers, BookToks, thrillers, novels and local publications – and also has a stationery department.
The first floor offers the entire catalogue, from the great classics of literature to non-fiction, international books and Kobo eReaders, as well as a space for cultural events.
The basement is the domain of the younger generation, with the We are Junior department, where even the smallest children can find a rich selection of books, illustrated fairy tales and educational games, and the Just Comics department, with a wide selection of titles for fans of comics and manga, superheroes and graphic novels, as well as music products like CDs, vinyls and K-pop. Each floor of the bookstore is equipped with Trovalibro touch screens to help customers explore the merchandise, and automatic checkouts to simplify the shopping experience.

The store’s architectural design and layout is by Kallipigia Architetti, a firm founded by Elisa Innocenti and Giovanni Cipriani. Kallipigia Architetti are known for their ability to combine creativity and efficiency, handling every stage in a project, from the initial survey to completion, with meticulous care.

Events

Starting immediately after the opening, the new bookstore will host a rich calendar of events, including book signings and meetings with authors and personalities from the world of entertainment. The aim is to actively engage readers and foster cultural dialogue, establishing the store as a socio-cultural centre for the entire community. The program of presentations includes: 28 October, Sisters (Rizzoli), the first book by Paola and Chiara; 30 October, Cambio vita cercasi (Garzanti) by Francesca Safina; 5 November, Cento parole per raccontare una vita (Sperling & Kupfer) by Red Canzian; on 6 November, author Claire Dee will sign copies of her book Beyond the surface (Sperling & Kupfer). Subsequent dates on the calendar are 11 November, Il premierato non è di destra (De Agostini) by Nicola Drago, 12 November, Il sentiero dei dieci. Una storia tra Israele e Gaza (Piemme) by Davide Lerner, and 14 November, when Iginio Massari will sign copies of his new book, Giorni mesi anni di una vita intensa (Baldini & Castoldi). The first series of events concludes with the following presentations: 22 November, Il cielo su via Padova (Sperling & Kupfer) by Daria Colombo; 26 November, Bambino (Einaudi) by Marco Balzano, who will be joined by presenter Michela Ponzani; 2 December, La malacarne (Einaudi) by Beatrice Salvioni.

The partners of the new Mondadori Bookstore are: Altavia (for the communication concept and event organisation), Kallipigia Architetti (for the architectural design and bookstore layout), Res Contract S.r.l. (general contractor) and Mecad S.r.l. (bookstore interiors).

Mondadori Bookstore Naples | MA opens to the public on Monday, 5 August

Everything’s set to welcome the public, both local and international, with lots of books, entertainment, culture, nature and sustainability.

Only a few days remain until the long-awaited opening of the Mondadori Bookstore | MA in Naples. The bookstore, located in the city’s central Galleria Umberto I, will open on Monday, 5 August with Mayor Gaetano Manfredi in attendance for a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 10.30 am.

“We have always wanted the Mondadori Bookstore | MA flagship store to be in Naples, an ideal city as Neapolitans are passionate readers”, said Antonio Serpe, Chief Retail Officer of Mondadori Bookstore | MA Italy.

“The project, in a symbolic place like Galleria Umberto I, also represents the highest expression of our philosophy: to place culture and art, in all its forms of expression, at the heart of things and to draw people, especially young people, as near to it as possible. That’s why we’ve worked diligently and passionately at the technical committee set up by the Mayor in collaboration with all the institutional figures involved, in order to solve the problems related to the location and make all the energy that characterises this extraordinary and colourful city, a landmark dedicated to culture and entertainment, available to the public”, Serpe concluded.

“Like Mondadori Retail, we’re proud of completing this project, and the vision and goals which we shared from the very beginning: to create a cultural and experiential centre at the service of the community, which will become a place where we can promote reading, entertainment, eco-sustainability and culture in its broadest sense”, said Carmine Perna, Mondadori Retail’s Director. “We believe that the strength of the MA format proves how important it is to invest in cultural initiatives that can adapt to present and future challenges by developing new business models”, concluded Perna.

The Mondadori Bookstore | MA in Naples has an area of 1,000 m², with an offer of 148,000 volumes from the great classics to best sellers – including fiction, non-fiction and miscellaneous -, from the We are Junior area, which includes children’s books, educational games and illustrated fairy tales to stimulate children’s imagination, to the innovative department dedicated to manga and comics, Just Comics, which winks at Gen Z.

Overlooking the historic Teatro Salone Margherita in the San Ferdinando district in the heart of Naples, the bookstore features furnishings that harmonise with the Art Nouveau atmosphere of the spot, respecting the architectural features of the time and combining them with the company philosophy of MA (): smart, young, and eco-friendly. An ideal space where one can take a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, devote oneself to reading and harmonise with nature, thus representing a completely innovative way of understanding, promoting and creating culture. The bookstore is also very focused on and sensitive to contemporary social and environmental issues by organising various initiatives.

“Naples is the ideal city to host one of Italy’s largest smart, young, eco-friendly bookstores because it has always been a cultural centre”, said Nello Nunziata, Head of the Point of Sales’ Development Division. “It’s no coincidence that, along with the vast Mondadori Store offer, the bookstore has a space dedicated to music and cinema, book buvette areas, free coworking hubs and reading spaces reserved for reading and study, as well as a space for wine tastings and an exclusive area reserved for events, ready to host some of the most important personalities on the local, national and international art scene”, Nunziata finished.

Two large touch screen totems allow for social interaction, while self-checkout click & collect services allow customers to make their purchases online on the bookstore website and collect them in-store. There’s also Trovalibro, which gives customers the chance of finding the text they want from among those available in store, simplifying the reader’s experience in the bookstore and make it more pleasant.

The store also has a large photo gallery area, dedicated to the art and contemporary photography of young emerging talents, giving them the opportunity to exhibit their work in the heart of the gallery from time to time. This is the case for Michele De Cesare, Gerardo Massaro, Fabio Monk and Davide Orfeo, who will open the exhibition, Metamorfosi napoletana.

The Mondadori Bookstore | MA is a completely innovative fusion concept, inspired by Japanese culture and translated from simple ideas into concrete projects by the Ricciardi Architetti studio, in collaboration with architect, Selene Amico. Tall furniture that echoes the natural line of tree trunks, creating a gallery that envelops visitors and invites them to soak up a culture and make it their own, stimulating and satisfying their curiosity. Combined with bonsai trees and sansevierias – chosen on purpose because they purify the air of benzene -, everything inside the bookstore recalls nature and eco-sustainability: from the lamps to the design fittings, from the architectural choices to the quality of the materials – marine poplar wood and recycled iron -, skilfully worked by master carpenters and Coppola’s historical partners. The walls are also painted using eco water paints, which reduce the amount of free formaldehyde in the atmosphere by 80%, and with the floating floors, the store is guaranteed to have a lower environmental impact in the installation of all systems.

MONDADORI BOOKSTORE | MA expresses a young, smart, innovative, eco-friendly bookstore concept for Gen Z and beyond. The philosophy is expressed through architectural choices and the materials used to create them, and in publishing ideas and initiatives. The eco-sustainable cultural concept grew out of the entrepreneurial background of the Neapolitan-minded creators and Mondadori Retail, the managing company of the largest network of bookstores in Italy, Mondadori Store. Mondadori Bookstores can be found throughout Italy with 14 stores in Udine, Gravellona, Milan, Turin, Arma Di Taggia, Reggio Emilia, Grosseto, Rome, Salerno, Sassari, Sestu, Catania and Naples. Other openings are planned for 2024 across important Italian cities.

New opening for Mondadori Bookstore | MA in Sardinia in the heart of the Galleria Tanit Shopping Centre in Sassari

Mondadori Bookstore | MA, the eco-sustainable bookstore concept, will open its doors to the public on Sunday, 28 July at 4 p.m. inside the Tanit Shopping Centre in Sassari, taking a new step in its development path in the area.

The bookstore’s “young, green and smart” format is inspired by the Japanese philosophical concept of MA (), “an undefined space between heaven and earth where man can empty his mind and nourish his soul”, as described by Antonio Serpe, Chief Retail Officer of the Mondadori Bookstore | MA Italia bookstores. “It’s a place dedicated to oneself, where you can feel free from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and focus on the well-being of the mind, representing a whole new way of making and spreading culture”, Serpe concluded.

The new bookstore opening in Sestu, which expands Mondadori Bookstore | MA presence in Sardinia, has an eco-friendly vibe, from the materials used for its construction — marine poplar, recycled iron and sustainable water-based paints — to the design itself — tall, curved furniture reminiscent of tree trunks, bonsai trees and sansevieria that personalises the 250 m² space. Another important aspect of the young & smart concept can’t be overlooked: thanks to the presence of multimedia and interactive totems, readers can interact on social media and answer questions about the current hottest titles. The store also has self-checkout, click&collect and Trovalibro services, which allows customers to find the title they’re after from those available in the store. There is also a free coworking and reading hub dedicated to readers and a forum, ready to host events, presentations and signings. Finally, there is a space used as a photo gallery for exhibitions and shows, which will host “Il Ricamo Delle Mani” by artist Roberta Uras for the opening.

The new Mondadori Bookstore | MA offers future readers a choice of more than 49,000 titles, from the great classics to best sellers – including fiction, non-fiction and miscellaneous – with areas reserved for the youngest readers – We are Junior – featuring interactive books, educational games and illustrated fairy tales to stimulate their imagination and curiosity. Finally, there is the Just Comics department, dedicated to manga and comics, with a nod to Gen Z readers.

Mondadori Bookstore | MA opens in Vigevano in Il Ducale Shopping Centre

On Monday, 15 July at 3 p.m., Mondadori Bookstore | MA, the new eco-sustainable bookstore concept, will open to the public in Vigevano (PV) at the Il Ducale Shopping Centre.

With this new store – the second in Lombardy – the number of Mondadori Bookstore | MA stores in Italy rises to 12: innovative cultural hubs, dedicated to spreading culture and promoting reading and entertainment, while fully respecting sustainability.

The bookstore format is inspired by the Japanese philosophical concept of MA (), “an undefined space between heaven and earth where man can empty his mind and nourish his soul”, said Antonio Serpe, Chief Retail Officer of the Mondadori Bookstore | MA Italia bookstores. The bookstore describes itself as a ‘young, green and smart’ space, where people can take a break and get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, devoting themselves to reading and getting in harmony with nature. A completely innovative way of understanding, promoting and doing culture.

The new Mondadori Bookstore | MA in Vigevano has an eco-friendly vibe, from the materials used for its construction — marine poplar, recycled iron and sustainable water-based paints — to the design itself — tall, curved furniture reminiscent of tree trunks, bonsai trees and sansevieria that personalises the 150 m² space. The store also offers more than 30,000 titles, from the great classics to best sellers, including fiction, non-fiction, detective stories and more. And that’s not forgetting the We are Junior department, which includes children’s books, educational games and illustrated fairy tales to stimulate little ones’ imagination; and the innovative Just Comics department dedicated to manga and comics for Generation Z. There is also a space dedicated to exhibitions and photo displays, which will host ‘L’ultima Luce’ (The Last Light) by artist Alessandro D’Amore for the opening, as well as a forum dedicated to events, ready to host presentations and signings, and, finally, a free reading zone.

MONDADORI | MA expresses an innovative, eco-friendly, young and smart bookstore concept for Generation Z and beyond. The philosophy is expressed through architectural choices and the materials used to create them, and in publishing ideas and initiatives. The eco-sustainable cultural concept grew out of the entrepreneurial background of the Neapolitan-minded creators and Mondadori Retail, the managing company of the largest network of bookshops in Italy, Mondadori Store. Mondadori Bookstores can be found throughout Italy with 12 stores in Udine, Gravellona, Milan, Turin, Arma Di Taggia, Reggio Emilia, Grosseto, Rome, Salerno, Sestu and Catania.

The first Mondadori Bookstore arrives in Termoli

Mondadori Store, Italy’s largest bookstore network, will inaugurate a new bookstore tomorrow in Termoli (CB) in Corso Umberto I, a central area of the city just a few steps from the railway station and the main square.

The store – led by a team of professional booksellers – expands the already extensive Mondadori Store network in the area, in line with the network’s strategy of spreading culture, encouraging reading and creating real centres dedicated to the world of books and entertainment.

“I am delighted to work on this project with the Mondadori Store network of bookstores, since we share the same goals: to develop places dedicated to culture, making it accessible to everyone and satisfying the tastes of an increasingly varied public”, said franchisee Antonio Verderame, who has now opened his twelfth bookshop after three other stores in Salerno and Pagani, Mercato San Severino, Cava de’ Tirreni, Castellabate, Manduria, Baronissi, Arezzo and Pontecagnano Faiano. “Furthermore, by focusing on the quality of the shopping experience, multi-channel services and events, we always put the needs of our customer-reader first”, the franchisee concluded.

The new bookstore covers 50 m2 and offers a selection of around 5,000 titles, from the great classics to best sellers – including fiction, non-fiction and miscellaneous works – and that’s not forgetting early readers with the We are Junior format, which includes educational games and illustrated books to stimulate children’s imagination with the most fascinating stories, and the department dedicated to the phenomenon of manga and comics, Just Comic. Areas dedicated to #BookTok, for the new generation of readers, local publishing, as well as stationery, toys, gift cards and gift boxes, also expand the store’s offer. 

Il Mondadori Bookstore di Termoli also serves readers online: customers can be updated on all the activities and events planned through the Facebook and Instagram pages. They will also be able to get in touch with the store through the Mondadoristore.it digital services to check if a book is available, order it and pick it up in the store, choosing from a catalogue of over 1 million titles.

The new Mondadori Bookstore follows the plan for renewal and development of Mondadori Store, the largest bookstore network in Italy, with more than 500 stores in cities and smaller towns. This 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.
