A new Mondadori bookshop opens in Bracciano: a cultural space for the community
The opening and ribbon-cutting ceremony will take place on Thursday 19 March at 11:00 am, in the presence of representatives from the Bracciano municipal administration and the President of the local traders’ association
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. Remote payments will also be available exclusively via Satispay.
Mondadori Store is the largest network of bookshops in Italy, with over 500 locations across the country, from major cities to smaller towns. These cultural hubs operate nationwide under the Mondadori Bookstore brand, both directly managed and franchised, alongside company-owned stores such as Mondadori Bookstore | MA, Mondadori Duomo and Rizzoli Milano.
