Mondadori Store, Italy’s largest network of bookshops, will open its new directly managed store tomorrow at Genoa’s Waterfront Mall, the themed commercial district in the Levante Waterfront area, part of the wider redevelopment project designed by Renzo Piano.

The new Mondadori Bookstore, the only bookshop within the complex, offers the community a space entirely dedicated to culture, with a focus on books and entertainment. The store extends over 220 square metres of retail space and features a catalogue of more than 15.000 titles, ranging from great classics to bestsellers, including fiction, general non-fiction, and local and international works.

“We are pleased to announce the opening of a new directly managed bookshop – the first of 2026 – further strengthening Mondadori Store’s presence in Genoa and its province, within a modern and fully redeveloped location. Our aim is to offer welcoming, contemporary spaces that engage people and transform reading into an experience of connection, discovery and entertainment, reaching an ever broader community of readers,” said Carmine Perna, CEO of Mondadori Retail.

Genoa’s Mondadori Bookstore  is located on the first floor of the shopping centre and features all the latest releases alongside key themed areas designed to cater to every taste: We are Junior , the space dedicated to younger readers, including educational games and illustrated books to spark their imagination with engaging stories; Just Comics , a section devoted to manga and comic books; My New Romance , a new corner for readers who love the romance genre , one of the most popular literary categories of the moment; as well as a wide selection of stationery, toys, gadgets and gift cards.

The bookshop also caters online readers: 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.

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.
