Mondadori Store, Italy’s largest network of bookshops, is expanding its presence in Apulia with a new store in Barletta dedicated to books and entertainment.

Located in the town’s historic centre, the Mondadori Bookstore will be inaugurated on Saturday 28 March at 17:30 in the presence of the Mayor, local Councillors for Culture and representatives from associations connected to the world of books and reading. The store will then open to the public from 19:00. The new Mondadori Bookstore in Barletta extends over approximately 200 square metres and offers a catalogue of more than 20,000 titles, ranging from great classics to bestsellers, including fiction, general non-fiction, local publishing and international works. Its aim is to help promote culture by creating an interactive meeting place for the whole community.

“After more than 10 years’ experience in the world of books, we are delighted to take this step together and open a new bookshop in the heart of Barletta,” say Francesca Centaro and Giuliana Damato, Mondadori Store franchisees. “This new space will become a key point of reference for local readers, with whom we have built a strong bond over time. We look forward to offering many opportunities to come together through events, activities and reading workshops, so that books continue to be moments of connection, discovery and growth,” they conclude.

The bookshop is arranged over two levels. The ground floor features all the latest releases and the main themed areas designed to cater to every reader’s tastes, including We are Junior, , the space dedicated to younger readers, with educational games and illustrated books to spark their imagination; Just Comics, devoted to manga and graphic novels; and My New Romance, the new corner for fans of romancefiction, one of the most popular literary genres of the moment. There is also a wide selection of stationery, toys, gadgets and gift cards. The lower ground floor has been designed as a reading room, with armchairs and tables to welcome customers, and will also serve as a dedicated space for hosting events and themed workshops.

The Mondadori Bookstore in Barletta also caters to onlinereaders: 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 availability, place orders, collect in store or arrange home delivery.

Among the services available is Zeercle, which allows customers to sell their books, as well as CDs, vinyl records, physical video games, DVDs and Blu-ray discs, in exchange for a gift card corresponding to the value attributed to the items, redeemable in Mondadori bookshops and on mondadoristore.it.

Mondadori Store is Italy’s largest network of bookshops, with more than 500 outlets 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. Mondadori Store is also active online through its e-commerce website Mondadoristore.it and its book club offering.
