Archiproducts Milano took center stage at Milan Design Week 2026 with “Fòco. Living notes by Studiopepe,” a new project that welcomed more than 14,000 visitors to Via Tortona, created in collaboration with over 50 international brands.
Archiproducts’ presence was felt throughout the city thanks to tens of thousands of copies of La Guida Archiproducts, the curatorial guide designed to help navigate the Salone and Fuorisalone 2026, and a coordinated, multi-channel strategy developed to highlight the week’s main initiatives.
Against this backdrop, the “Here Comes Design” event took place, featuring the presentation of a new range of digital and experiential solutions developed with AdKaora – Digital Fighters and Mondadori Digital, to bring design into new contexts, from beauty to fashion, from lifestyle to the automotive sector.

Once again this year, in celebration of International Women’s Day, we are continuing our series of well-being initiatives designed to promote the well-being of #NoiDellaMondadori, offering the opportunity to undergo a free Pap test at the office – a vital tool for prevention and screening for women of all ages.
This important opportunity complements the numerous prevention campaigns for the diagnosis of female and male cancers, which in 2025 led us to organize 450 specialized screenings at the Palazzo.
These prevention days, together with our psychological support service and agreements with local healthcare facilities, allow our employees to discuss with doctors and experts the importance of taking care of themselves and their health.

A new step in our journey towards sustainable growth: we have adopted a Human Rights Policy to ensure even more responsible management of the Group’s activities.
The document underlines the company’s commitment to protecting and promoting fundamental human values, not only internally but also in relation to all its stakeholders.
“Access to quality education, the opportunity to participate in cultural life and enjoy the scientific progress of one’s country are fundamental rights of every person, as enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights,” said Francesca Rigolio, Chief Sustainability Officer of the Mondadori Group. “As Italy’s leading publishing group, we believe we have a strong responsibility in this regard: every book and every piece of content we publish can contribute to building moments of dialogue, reflection, and growth, becoming a tool for inclusion, respect, and participation. It is from this conviction that our Human Rights Policy was born, with which we renew and strengthen our commitment to contributing to a more equitable and aware society, integrating these principles into our sustainability strategy and our business practices.”
