On 5 September, the new Silvio Berlusconi Editore, a publishing house that was founded within the Mondadori Group with the aim of focusing on liberal and democratic thought, will make its debut.
The first title will be “On Leadership. The art of governing” by Tony Blair, to be published worldwide. A synthesis of leadership lessons from years of experience at the top of a great and long-standing liberal democracy.
The publishing house’s activity will then be based on a limited number of titles each year, divided into two series: ‘Biblioteca’, which will collect classics, important books to be published or republished, and ‘Libera’, dedicated to contemporary authors tackling the open issues of current affairs.
The editorial management of D Scuola has been renewed.
The team, led by Claudia Leante, will work with renewed vigour on the development of educational publishing products: books, eBooks, apps and websites. This will consolidate the innovative and strategic role of one of the leading educational publishers in Italy.
The main objective will continue to be to provide students, pupils and teachers with the best tools to build the society of the future.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month and it is important to raise awareness.
We did this with a webinar dedicated to the ABC of mental health, in collaboration with Mindwork and psychologist and operations manager Biancamaria Cavallini.
There is still too little talk about mental wellbeing in companies, as if people can separate their personal and professional lives, or as if the places to talk about it are different.
Instead, we believe in a corporate culture that is open to a broad and inclusive concept of wellbeing, and we promote the dissemination of tools that support people in times of difficulty, as well as in times of change and personal growth.
This is why, in partnership with Mindwork, we have set up a professional psychological support service within the company, a digital counter to listen and help all our employees.

Among those participating in the 12th #RelayMilanoMarathon there were also #NoiDellaMondadori.
A group of colleagues took part in the non-competitive relay for charity organised as part of the Milan Marathon. 6 teams from the Mondadori Group took part in this initiative, each made up of four runners who took it in turns to cover the 42 km of the marathon through the streets of the city.
Through our participation, we have decided to once again support the LILT – Lega Italiana per la Lotta contro i Tumori, and in particular the “Visite sospese” project: an initiative aimed at guaranteeing preventive medical check-ups to people in economic and social difficulties.
The relay is the heart of the Milano Marathon’s charity programme, which allows all participants to run for a non-profit organisation of their choice, helping to raise funds for the solidarity projects of around 100 participating associations.
Anyone can support the LILT programme: just take part in the fundraising on the Rete del Dono, www.retedeldono.it. Donations are anonymous and any amount is possible.

It is with great satisfaction that we announce that the Mondadori Group has obtained the UNI/PdR 125:2022 gender equality certification. The assessment, a result of a rigorous audit process carried out by Bureau Veritas, recognises our commitment to promoting inclusion and creating a working environment that respects and values gender diversity.
Among the most highly commended projects was the one on parenthood, which provides all new parents with concrete tools such as the parental kit and the counselling service, and the adoption of blind CVs – which do not contain sensitive data – in selection processes.
The gender equality certification is an important milestone in our Diversity & Inclusion journey, which began three years ago with the desire to promote an inclusive culture and ensure fair and transparent opportunities for all people within the company.
With this recognition, we have achieved one of the objectives of the Mondadori Group’s Sustainability Plan, but we will continue to work to ensure that everyone in our company always feels valued, respected and appreciated.
Can a video game help you learn?
The answer is yes, according to a study Deascuola conducted with Massimiliano Andreoletti, a professor at the Università Cattolica di Milano. Indeed, the research showed that video games can be used as innovative and inclusive tools for teaching in schools.
These reflections gave rise to “Ross e la Sgrammanebbia”, the video game launched by Deascuola in September 2022, which has proved to be a valuable tool for secondary school teachers. The use of this digital tool has increased students’ motivation, helped them to socialise and encouraged them to think, while consolidating their skills and having fun at the same time.
Indeed, the video game offers an exciting journey where narrative, didactic and playful moments alternate. Level after level, students face stimulating challenges and solve grammatical puzzles through small games of increasing difficulty.
