The Board of Directors approved the economic-financial results recorded by the Mondadori Group during the past fiscal year, presented by CEO Antonio Porro: adjusted revenues and ebitda are up from 2023.
“Our economic-financial profile confirms the growing weight of books, from which 85% of consolidated revenues and about 90% of overall margins are derived, and the ability to maintain a high level of profitability. Finally, the economic performance and solid cash generation allow us to estimate further improved results for the new fiscal year as well, continuing to create long-term value for our stakeholders,” Antonio Porro stressed.
#NoiDellaMondadori believe that physical and psychological well-being are essential factors within a company, pillars on which to build a healthy, productive and sustainable work environment.
On the occasion of International Women’s Day, we renew our concrete commitment with opportunities in #Wellbeing and #Prevention. In fact, at Palazzo Mondadori it is always possible to have a free Pap test, a crucial screening exam for women of all ages.
From prevention campaigns to specialist examinations, from psychological support services to conventions with various health facilities in the area, we are at the side of all our colleagues, offering them the possibility to access initiatives and tools to improve the quality of their professional and private lives.
This is a tangible commitment that is part of a broader journey to protect the health and physical and psychological well-being of each and every one of us.
The year 2025 marks a special milestone for our publishing house Edizioni Piemme: 25 years of success together with Geronimo Stilton, the character born from the creativity of Elisabetta Dami, translated into 52 languages and with more than 187 million copies sold, and who has become a true global phenomenon.
“Our secret is to have young readers at heart, to listen to them and to share with them fundamental and universal values, to accompany them in their growth, in Italy and in the world,” Elisabetta Dami says. The celebrated mouse journalist has been able to convey principles, establishing himself as an ambassador of stories that educate, inspire and create connections.
To celebrate this important anniversary, in 2025 Geronimo Stilton will travel across Italy to bring his message of happiness directly to schools, bookstores and other cultural events, involving children in interactive activities and moments of growth and sharing.

With Mondadori Education, Rizzoli Education and Deascuola we provide innovative content for inclusive and engaging teaching, as well as educational solutions designed to meet the challenges of modern education.
HUB Scuola is the digital platform that brings together in one place all the many proposals, resources and insights from our education publishers to support learning and teaching.
We believe that prevention is the first step in taking care of ourselves and, for this reason, we have embarked on a concrete path to promote the wellbeing of all of us Della Mondadori through initiatives and opportunities in the wellbeing field.
Over the past year, the Mondadori Group has launched several important prevention campaigns. These include visits organized at our headquarters in Palazzo Niemeyer, in collaboration with LILT Milano Monza Brianza – Lega Italiana per la Lotta contro i Tumori.
More than 300 female colleagues had the opportunity to take advantage of specialized checkups for skin, breast and male cancers.
It was an important opportunity to learn, with doctors and experts, how much of a difference an early diagnosis and the adoption of a healthy lifestyle can make for each of us.
Today, November 25, is the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, and we at Mondadori Group want to continue to help spread awareness and take concrete action to promote a culture of respect and nonviolence.
For this reason, as part of our #InPiediControLaViolenza initiative, we organized the event “Convictions and Microaggressions. Between Bias and Artificial Intelligence,” an opportunity for discussion, dialogue and deep reflection.
“As a Group we have taken care of us, defining an identity that does not pretend to solve everything quickly, but is based on a constant and constructive dialogue with the people who are part of it,” Francesca Rigolio, Chief Sustainability Officer of the Mondadori Group, said at the opening, introducing the guests of the meeting.
With scientist Raffaella Tonini we approached the topic from a neuroscience perspective, exploring the unconscious mechanisms that activate those behaviors, actions or communications that convey negative messages. With Vittorio Lingiardi, psychiatrist and psychoanalyst, we delved into the impact that microaggressions have on individuals and organizations, while with economist Azzurra Rinaldi we discussed gender equality and economic violence. Andrea Notarnicola Cociani moderated the meeting.
The results of a survey involving female colleagues were also presented during the meeting to better understand the perception of hostile expressions and behaviors within our business context. Concluding the meeting was Antonio Porro, CEO of the Mondadori Group.
#NoiDellaMondadori work every day to promote concrete actions that eliminate bias and prevent the occurrence of microaggressions, with the goal of building a more inclusive company.
On the occasion of November 25, the “International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women,” we are standing by all victims of abuse with the initiative #InPiediControLaViolenza.
The heart of the project, the art installation that this week is hosted at Palazzo Niemeyer along the entire central walkway: 100 red chairs, only one of which is open, standing, a symbol of strength and resistance.
Conceived by the Mondadori Group together with photographer Nicola Ughi and director Tommaso Casigliani, the Red Chair becomes for us a symbol of personal awareness and collective commitment: an invitation to reflect on the role we all, men and women, have in sustaining a culture of respect and nonviolence.
The project is part of a broader path of social responsibility that the Mondadori Group has long undertaken together with its publishing houses, digital media, magazines and bookstores, with the aim of promoting equality, against all forms of gender-based violence.
