On Monday 22 December, Mondadori Store, the largest network of bookshops in Italy, will open a new directly managed store inside the Continente Shopping Centre in Mapello (BG), offering the local community a space entirely dedicated to culture, with a strong focus on books and entertainment.

Mapello’s new Mondadori Bookstore covers an area of approximately 200 square meters with a catalogue of over 10,000 titles, ranging from great classics to bestsellers, local and international publications, alongside a selection of products and services designed to deliver an innovative and engaging experience to an ever-growing community of readers and entertainment enthusiasts..

This new cultural hub in Mapello, in the province of Bergamo, one of Lombardy’s leading urban areas, forms part of Mondadori Store’s broader network expansion plan, which in 2025, saw the opening of 23 total openings on a national scale. “A path of continuous growth that strengthens the role of our network, which today has more than 500 stores across the country. In particular, it consolidates our direct-management business model, which now includes 67 company-owned bookstores, also thanks to the recent acquisition of stores operating under the Mondadori Bookstore | MA“, stated Carmine Perna, CEO of Mondadori Retail.

The Mondadori Bookstore in Mapello offers all the latest releases alongside dedicated themed areas designed to meet the tastes of every reader, such as We are Junior, the space for younger readers featuring educational games and illustrated books to spark their imagination with engaging stories; Just Comics, the area devoted to manga and comics; a curated selection of titles for fans of the romance genre, one of the most popular literary trends at the moment; as well as a wide range of stationery items, toys, gadgets and gift cards.

The bookshop also serves readers online: customers can stay up to date via its Instagram and Facebook pages, and can use the digital services available on Mondadoristore.it to check book availability, place an order, collect it in store or have it delivered to their home.

Mondadori Store is the largest network of bookstores in Italy, with more than 500 locations across major cities and smaller towns. These cultural hubs are present throughout the country under the Mondadori Bookstore brand, both in directly managed and franchised stores, as well as through the company owned bookshops Mondadori Bookstore MA, Mondadori Duomo and Rizzoli Milano.
