The development of Mondadori Store, the largest network of bookstores in Italy, continues with the inauguration of a new Bookstore inside the Maximall Pompeii, the most innovative experiential centre in Southern Italy, located just 600 metres from the Pompeii Excavations.

The bookstore, which will be open to the public on Saturday 14 December, will enrich the experience offered to visitors with a place dedicated to the world of books and entertainment, in line with the Mondadori Store network’s strategy to create new meeting points and true cultural hubs for readers.

Located in the municipality of Torre Annunziata, the Maximall Pompeii is closely connected with the cultural identity and landscape of the area. This is all in order to maximise the idea of a Shopping Experience tailored to the needs of guests, whether they are tourists or resident families. Designed by the Irge Group, the centre is also an example of sustainable architecture attested by the international BREEAM recognition, which certifies the environmental sustainability of buildings.

“We are proud to inaugurate the first bookstore of Maximall Pompeii: a perfect location for the Mondadori Store network; an experiential hub in dialogue with the area, like that of Pompeii, with great tourist and cultural value. A context that perfectly aligns with our mission to promote the spread of culture, offering new reference points in the area for all book lovers,” said Carmine Perna, CEO of Mondadori Retail.

The new Mondadori bookstore spans 220 m² and has a catalogue of more than 14,000 titles, from great classics to best sellers, including fiction, non-fiction and various other works. Special attention has been given to younger readers with the We are Junior format, which includes educational games and picture books to stimulate their imagination with the most intriguing stories, along with a department dedicated to manga and comics, Just Comics. The bookstore’s offer is also expanded by areas dedicated to #BookTok for the new generation of readers, as well as areas for stationery, toys, and gift cards.

The Mondadori Bookstore also serves readers online: customers can keep up to date through its Instagram and Facebook pages. They will also be able to get in touch with the store through the Mondadoristore.it digital services to check if a book is available, order it and pick it up in store or have it shipped, choosing from a catalogue of over 1 million titles. The bookstore will also offer customers the opportunity to place orders via telephone.

The cultural organization is active throughout the country, online with the e-commerce site Mondadoristore.it and the book club.

During the Christmas season, Oxfam Italia and Mondadori Store — the largest network of bookstores in Italy — will lead an important challenge: helping to ensure inclusive and equal education through the project ‘Wrap a book, gift a future’. 

Until December 24, Mondadori Bookstore customers can have their Christmas gifts wrapped by Oxfam volunteers present at bookstores in major Italian cities participating in the initiative, and make a donation to support projects against dropping out of school and educational poverty that Oxfam Italia promotes in socially marginal contexts. Contributions can be made in stores and online at the dedicated website https://www.oxfamitalia.org/mondadori/.

Oxfam has been active for over 20 years in Italy and around the world with programmes to combat educational poverty and spread the principles of education for global citizenship. It believes access to education is essential in the principles of equity and justice, which must be recognised and guaranteed for individuals living in poor and marginalised social, economic, and cultural conditions. These include Italian and foreign minors at risk of dropping out of school, people outside the education and labour system, families in conditions of poverty, and more generally, individuals and groups at risk of social exclusion.

With its ‘Wrap a book, gift a future’ initiative, Oxfam is committed to a long-term path aimed at the most at-risk groups to improve access to sociocultural services for families in great economic difficulty. Indeed, for four years now, Oxfam, with the support of Mondadori Store, has taken concrete action to contribute to equal access in schools. The funds raised in the past three editions were invaluable for supporting thousands of young people in educational recovery programmes and providing motivational and educational support in middle and high schools.

This year’s Oxfam programme will involve more than 120 schools, 5000 students, and hundreds of teachers. Activities include: paths of educational innovation and opportunities for exchange with other European schools; strong support for students at risk of dropping out of school; make-up courses for language and academic skills in various subjects; and linguistic mediation activities aimed at foreign students. Finally, the programme provides for numerous activities to animate and redevelop the spaces used by young people in and out of schools in various cities.

‘In 2023, school dropout rates in Italy fell to 10.5%, down from the previous two years. This is undoubtedly a positive piece of data, as it confirms that the country is progressively approaching the European objectives of reducing school dropout rates to 9% by 2030,’ explains Roberto Barbieri, General Director of Oxfam Italia. ‘However, our country still holds a sad record with a school dropout rate that ranks fifth among the 27 European states and various gaps that urgently need to be addressed. Social, citizenship, gender, and territorial gaps undermine the future path of millions of girls and boys who risk being left in the margins. This is why we want to thank Mondadori Store. This valuable collaboration enables us to amplify the effectiveness of our work in the country,’ Barbieri concludes.

‘Access to culture and education are rights that cannot be denied due to an individual’s economic capacity. It is essential, therefore, that companies, institutions, schools, and private citizens driven by a sense of social and civil responsibility support those who are less fortunate,’ declares Francesco Riganti, Marketing Director of Mondadori Retail. ‘We at Mondadori Store believe in this principle and are proud to carry out this mission to promote culture together with Oxfam through our national network of bookstores in an inclusive and sustainable way, making the most of our coverage to reach even the smallest towns and the outskirts of the largest cities,’ Riganti concludes.

The Mondadori Store and Oxfam initiative is part of the social responsibility path that Mondadori Group has followed for some time, which also includes a series of activities for community support, from promoting reading and education to training and social/healthcare assistance. In 2022, the Group also launched its first three-year Sustainability Plan, in which strategic areas, quantitative and qualitative targets, and short- and medium-term actions aimed at continuously improving its performance in social, governance, and environmental terms were identified, in line with the United Nations’ Sustainability Goals.

Oxfam Italia
Oxfam is a global movement of people who, in 86 countries around the world, fight inequality to overcome poverty. Oxfam saves and rebuilds lives in emergencies, promotes sustainable development, and fights to build a future without inequalities, where the essential rights of everyone, everywhere, are guaranteed and no one is left behind.
