Il Giorno is a daily newspaper based in the city of Milan, Italy. It has numerous local editions in Lombardy.
History and profile
[edit ]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.
