History and profile

Il Giorno was founded by the Italian businessman Cino Del Duca on 21 March 1956, [1] with the journalist Gaetano Baldacci, to challenge Corriere della Sera , also a daily newspaper published in Milan. Later, because of a financial crisis, Italian public administrator Enrico Mattei and the state-owned oil company Eni [2] bought part of the publishing company. The paper maintains a liberal political stance. [3]

In 1959, Del Duca sold his stake to Eni and Italo Pietra became the newspaper's editor. One of the former contributors of the paper was Adolfo Battaglia. [4]

In 1997, Eni sold Il Giorno to the Italian publishing company Poligrafici Editoriale, which also owns two other Italian newspapers ( il Resto del Carlino and La Nazione ) under the Quotidiano Nazionale network.

In 2000, Il Giorno switched from a broadsheet to a tabloid format. [5] The paper was published in tabloid format until 2003 when it adopted again broadsheet format. [5] In 2009, the paper began to publish a new sports supplement.

Circulation

The 1988 circulation of Il Giorno was 290,000 copies. [2] In 1992 it had a circulation of 170,000 copies. [1] Its circulation was 75,601 copies in 2004. [6] In 2008 the newspaper had a circulation of approximately 69,000 copies. [7]
