Mondadori Store, the largest network of bookshops in Italy, is bringing a new venue dedicated to books and entertainment to Gorizia, European Capital of Culture 2025 together with Nova Gorica.

The Mondadori Bookstore will be inaugurated on Saturday 21 June and will open where Libreria Editrice Goriziana, a historic cultural landmark in Corso Giuseppe Verdi, used to be.

“Thanks to the affiliation with Mondadori Store, the bookshop – specialised in local history – is also embracing a more international approach, meeting the needs of tourists from Europe visiting the city, this year as European Capital of Culture,” comments Adriano Ossola, the bookseller with more than 40 years of experience who runs the Gorizia shop, owned by Maurizio Caimi.

The new Mondadori Bookstore in Gorizia covers an area of 170 square metres with a catalogue of more than 15,000 titles, ranging from the great classics to best sellers, including fiction and non-fiction, both local and international. Special attention is paid to younger readers with the We are Junior format, which includes picture books to stimulate their imagination with the most intriguing stories, and the Just Comics department dedicated to manga and comics. The bookstore also offers dedicated #BookTok areas for the new generation of readers, as well as stationery, toys, gadgets and gift cards.

The Mondadori Bookstore in Gorizia also serves readers online: customers will be able to get in touch with the bookstore through the  Mondadoristore.it digital services to check a book’s availability, order it, pick it up in store or have it sent 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 ongoing renewal and development plan launched by Mondadori Store, the most extensive network of bookstores in Italy, with more than 500 sales outlets distributed across cities and 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.
