On Thursday 23 April, Mondadori Store, Italy’s largest network of bookshops, will inaugurate a new store in Empoli (FI), Tuscany. Located in the town’s historic centre, the new bookshop will offer the local community a dedicated space for books and entertainment. The opening event, which is open to the public, will also be attended by local authorities.

The new Mondadori Bookstore extends over approximately 150 square metres and offers a catalogue of over 15,000 titles, from great classics to bestsellers, spanning fiction, general non-fiction, local and international publications. It also features a selection of products and services designed to provide an innovative and engaging experience for an ever-growing community of readers and entertainment enthusiasts.

“I believe there is always a good reason to open a bookshop. It is not simply about offering a convenient space in which to purchase a book, but about bringing a new cultural reference point to the local area, where people can devote time to what they love,” said Antonio Verderame, a Mondadori Store affiliate who has been working with books for over seven years and now manages 13 bookshops across Italy. “Our ambition is to build a true cultural and social hub, transforming the bookshop into a place for meeting and exchange through the organisation of events, presentations and projects,” he concluded.

The Mondadori Store bookshop in Empoli stocks all the latest releases and features dedicated themed areas designed to cater to a wide range of readers, including We are Junior, a space for younger readers with educational games and illustrated books to stimulate their imagination; Just Comics, dedicated to the world of manga and comics; and My New Romance, a new corner for readers who love the romance universe, one of the most popular literary genres of the moment. The store also offers a wide selection of stationery, toys, gadgets and gift cards. It will host a variety of events and initiatives, including reading clubs, literary meetings and creative workshops for children.
