On Wednesday 3 June, Mondadori Store, Italy’s largest network of bookshops, will open a new store in the Lazio region, in the historic centre of Grottaferrata (Rome).

With a surface area of approximately 80 square metres and a catalogue of over 7,000 titles, the new Mondadori Bookstore is set to become a key destination for readers and entertainment enthusiasts. The store, which will be inaugurated in the presence of the public and local authorities, spans everything from literary classics to bestsellers in both fiction and non-fiction, Italian and international, offering an innovative and engaging shopping experience.

“In an era dominated by digital commerce, the opening of this bookshop represents a strong signal for the Grottaferrata community: not just a retail space, but a cultural salon designed to slow down the pace of everyday life,” say Luca Russillo and Federica Poggi, Mondadori Store franchise partners who have worked in the book sector for over 30 years and currently manage four other bookshops: Mondadori Bookstore in Rome on Via Tuscolana, at the Le Terrazze Shopping Centre on Via di Casal Palocco and the Tor Vergata Shopping Centre on Viale Luigi Schiavonetti, and the summer temporary store in Marina di Camerota (SA). “Grottaferrata is a city that loves culture and deserves a space for gathering, where books act as a bridge between people,” Russillo and Poggi concluded.

The Mondadori Store bookshop in Grottaferrata will feature all the latest releases, with dedicated thematic areas designed to meet the tastes of all readers, including We are Junior, a space for younger readers featuring educational games and illustrated books designed to spark imagination through engaging stories; Just Comics, dedicated to the manga and comics phenomenon; and My New Romance, a concept aimed at fans of romance fiction, one of today’s most popular literary genres. The store will also offer a wide range of stationery, toys, gadgets, gift cards and gift boxes. The bookshop will also host a range of events and initiatives, including book presentations, book signings and collaborations with local cultural organisations.

The Mondadori Bookstore in Grottaferrata will also cater to readers online. Customers will be able to stay updated via its Instagram and Facebook pages. They will also be able to access digital services through Mondadoristore.it to check book availability, place orders, collect in-store or have products delivered to their home. Services also include Zeercle, which allows customers to sell books, CDs, vinyl records, physical video games, DVDs and Blu-rays in exchange for a gift card equivalent to the value of the items, redeemable in 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. A nationwide cultural presence, the network operates under the Mondadori Bookstore brand through both directly managed and franchised stores, alongside company-owned bookshops including 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.
