We are proud to announce that our publishing house Rizzoli won the ninth edition of the Premio Strega Ragazze e Ragazzi 2024 in the 8+ category, with the book “Rim e le parole liberate” by Maddalena Vaglio Tanet.

With a story that makes us dream and reflect, the author reminds us that words are the key to freedom and awareness. “Rim and the Liberated Words” is among the top-rated books by very young readers representing the 318 schools that make up the jury.

On the occasion of National Tree Day, which is celebrated on November 21, we want to stop and reflect on the value that trees, fundamental guardians of our ecosystem, have for the environment and for the lives of each of us.

To mark the occasion, here are 5 reading recommendations from our publishing houses that will take us on a closer look at the world of trees, exploring, in a deep and sensitive way, their beauty and the mystery that surrounds them.

From scientific essays to poetry, each book is a journey that leads us to slow down and renew our deep connection with nature and the environment around us.

Focus has set itself the goal of bringing its audience closer to the most important technological revolution of our time: artificial intelligence. In collaboration with PromptDesign.it it launches #MYIA, an innovative series of online courses dedicated to learning and using Generative AI for everyday life.

Do you know how to recognize fake news?
Today, false information is rampant on the web and can fool even the most attentive readers, influencing decisions and perceptions of the world. We talked about this with Andrea Sesta of Lercio and writer and popularizer Massimo Polidoro, who remind us how important it is to communicate correct information based on verified data.
This video is part of the project “A Wave of Sustainability,” which chronicles the Mondadori Group’s commitment to a more sustainable world by following some of the goals of the 2030 Agenda.

The best startups, selected from over 500 applications received, were the protagonists of the first Selection Day of plaiaccelerator, the Mondadori Group’s startup accelerator that transforms ideas based on the use of generative artificial intelligence into successful realities.
An intense and dynamic day, including speeches, presentations and networking moments, full of ideas and insights where all participants were able to discover from a new perspective the Italian and international ecosystem of Generative Artificial Intelligence.
During the Selection Day it was also announced that fastwebspa and startupitalia have joined PLAI’s strategic partners.
In a few weeks the names of the 10 startups that will enter the first acceleration cycle will be announced.

Gaia Caracciolo is one of three colleagues who took part in the latest edition of the Nudge Global Impact Challenge, the international training program that brings together young people from all over the world with the aim of training future leaders in the field of sustainability.

We are very happy to have received a special mention together with Accompany at the ninth edition of the Excellence in Training Award.

This award recognises the quality of our ‘Data Culture & Integrated Productivity’ course, which focused on the importance of data and its structural integration in an increasingly digitised work environment. Participants learnt how to use data to improve time management and organisational decisions, as well as how to optimise a team’s activities through digital collaboration tools. This training project was the result of a broader upskilling programme that has been ongoing in the company for more than two years.
