History and profile

The newspaper was founded in 1974 by the journalist Indro Montanelli, [5] [6] together with the colleagues Enzo Bettiza, Ferenc Fejtő, Raymond Aron, and others, after some disagreements with the new pro-left-wing editorial line adopted by the newspaper Corriere della Sera , where Montanelli had been one of the most important contributors. Montanelli left Corriere della Sera in 1973. [5] The newspaper was first published on 25 June 1974 as il Giornale nuovo, [6] [7] with Montanelli as editor and member of the publishing company board of directors, which included an editorial office composed of 59 journalists. The paper holds conservative and right-wing stances. [8] [9] The paper's headquarters is in Milan. [10]

In 1977, Montanelli, who was in financial difficulties, accepted an offer by Silvio Berlusconi, who became the new owner. [11] In 1983, the paper was renamed as il Giornale. [6] When Berlusconi entered politics in December 1993, Montanelli left fearing for his own independence, and went on to found the short-lived daily newspaper La Voce . [12] In 1992, Berlusconi left the role of the owner of il Giornale to his brother, Paolo Berlusconi. [11] Vittorio Feltri replaced Montanelli as editor. [13] As of 2003, the publisher of the newspaper, Società Europea di Edizioni, [14] was owned by Paolo Berlusconi (58.3%) and Arnoldo Mondadori Editore (41.7% directly and indirectly). [15] Until May 2005, the paper was published in broadsheet format, [16] when it switched to tabloid format. [14] In May 2005, il Giornale also started its online version. [17] In 2007, the monthly business magazine Espansione became a supplement of the paper. [18] [19] As of 2016, Società Europea di Edizioni was still partially owned by Arnoldo Mondadori Editore directly for 36.90%, [20] which is a listed company that majority owned by Fininvest. It was reported that by Roberto Amodei  [ it ], the owner of several sports newspaper of Italy, had interested to subscribe the capital increase of Società Europea di Edizioni. [21]

When Berlusconi announced his intention to run at the 1994 Italian general election in January 1994, he expected the paper to give his campaign full support. Although Montanelli's position was somehow aligned with Berlusconi's, he felt that the political career of Berlusconi could erode the editorial freedom and authority of the paper. Despite the initial success, the foundation of a new paper proved to be too much for Montanelli, who was 85 at the time. With sales going down drammatically following Berlusconi's victory, Montanelli was forced to close the paper after less than one year. He would later rejoin Corriere della Sera as a columnist.
