Airone (English: Heron ) is an Italian science magazine devoted to science and technology issues. It is published in Milan, Italy, by Editoriale Giorgio Mondadori (former company, now a division of Cairo Editore, a subsidiary of Cairo Communication).
Airone was founded in 1981 as an ecologist magazine primarily containing articles about animal world, nature, ethnology and geography. [1] [2] The founder and first director was Egidio Gavazzi. [2] It was for years the most widely circulated scientific magazine in Italy, [3] [4] with a peak of average circulation of about 250,000 copies per month. [3] [5] Between 1985 and 1986 it co-produced with RAI the nature documentary series Pan. [6] [7] In 1989 it was launched a spin-off for the younger readers, Airone Junior, renamed Dodo in April 1995. [8] [9]
Airone was described as a "magazine similar to National Geographic , but perhaps more conservation-minded", [10] and it was referred to as "a stunning natural history magazine, the best of several European magazines". [11] In an article about the first ten years of the magazine, the L'Unità journalist Antonio Del Giudice pointed how the magazine was "not just an editorial phenomenon, but also a cultural, political e social phenomenon". [2]
The circulation of Airone was 94,000 copies in 2007. [12] In December 2013 the magazine had a circulation of 83,000 copies per month. [13]

It reached a circulation of over 1 million under editor and co-owner Luigi Albertini between 1900 and 1925. He was a strong opponent of socialism, clericalism, and Giovanni Giolitti, who was willing to compromise with those forces during his time as prime minister of Italy. Albertini's opposition to the Italian fascist regime forced the other co-owners to oust him in 1925.

La Stampa is an Italian daily newspaper published in Turin with an average circulation of 87,143 copies in May 2023.

Until the late 1970s and early 1980s, when the country underwent a nationalization process, La Stampa and Corriere della Sera were not real national daily newspapers, as their geographical area of circulation was mostly limited to Piedmont for La Stampa and Lombardy for Corriere della Sera; thus, both papers shared a readership that was linked to its place of residence and its social class, mostly from the industrialist class and financial circles. La Stampa has "historically" been Turin's newspaper of record. It is considered one of Italy's leading national newspapers alongside Corriere della Sera, la Repubblica, Il Sole 24 Ore, and Il Messaggero.
