Mondadori Store: a new cultural hub opens in Scicli in the heart of the historic centre

The opening event for the public takes place today at 6.30 pm

Mondadori Store, the largest network of bookshops in Italy, is today opening a new location in Sicily, in Scicli (RG), inside the prestigious historic building that houses Palazzo Scimone. The new store offers the community a space dedicated to books and entertainment.

The new Mondadori Bookstore covers nearly 100 square metres and features an evocative stone structure with a modern layout and areas dedicated to different literary genres. Visitors are welcomed by an experienced team of booksellers and a catalogue of 10,000 titles, from great classics to best sellers, including fiction, non fiction, international books and titles for younger readers.

“We are excited to embark on this new adventure, the beginning of a journey aimed at promoting reading and spreading culture in an area rich in history and architectural heritage,” said Piera Ficili, Mondadori Store franchisee and bookseller for almost 25 years. “Our hope is that this bookshop will become a leading cultural venue for the city, offering what young people and the wider community need at this particular moment in time,” added Ficili, who also owns two Mondadori Bookstores in the city of Modica, opened in 2001 and 2017 respectively.

The Scicli bookshop features all the latest releases, with themed areas designed to cater for readers of every taste. These include We are Junior, , the space for younger readers with educational games and illustrated books to spark their imagination; Just Comics, the section dedicated to the world of manga and comics; My New Romance, the new corner for fans of the romance universe, one of today’s most popular genres; as well as a wide selection of stationery, toys, gadgets and gift cards. There will also be dedicated spaces for reading and studying.

The Mondadori Bookstore in  Scicli  also serves readers online: customers can stay updated through the store’s Instagram and Facebook pages. They can also contact the bookshop through the digital services available on Mondadoristore.it to check the availability of a book, order it, pick it up in store or have it delivered to their home.

 

Mondadori Store is the largest network of bookshops 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.
