Mondadori Bookstore

Mondadori Store, the most extensive network of bookstores in Italy, will inaugurate a new bookstore in Marina di Carrara, a Tuscan seaside resort and tourist destination in the province of Massa Carrara, on Friday 29 March, at 5.30pm, thus making a hub dedicated to the world of books, culture and entertainment available to the public.

The new Mondadori Bookstore – led by mother-and-daughter booksellers Elena Torelli and Giorgia Grasso, who also manage the bookstore in Sarzana (SP) – expands the already extensive network of Mondadori Stores in the area, in keeping with the network’s strategy of spreading culture and promoting leisure-time reading, creating an interactive meeting point and a true cultural organisation for locals and tourists.

The new bookstore covers 60m2 and offers a selection of around 7,000 titles, from the great classics to best sellers – including fiction, non-fiction and miscellaneous – and that’s not forgetting early readers with the We are Junior format, which includes educational games and illustrated books to stimulate their imagination with the most intriguing stories, and the department dedicated to the manga and comics phenomenon, Just Comic. Areas dedicated to #BookTok, for the new generation of readers, local publishing, as well as stationery, toys, gift cards and gift boxes, also expand the store’s offer. 

The Mondadori Bookstore in Marina di Carrara also serves readers online: customers can be updated on all the activities and events planned through the Facebook and Instagram 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 the store, choosing from a catalogue of over 1 million titles.

Il Mondadori Bookstore di Marina di Carrara è a servizio dei lettori anche online: i clienti potranno essere aggiornati attraverso le pagine Facebook e Instagram. Inoltre, potranno entrare in contatto con la libreria attraverso i servizi digitali di Mondadoristore.it per verificare la disponibilità di un libro, ordinarlo e ritirarlo in negozio, scegliendo da un catalogo di oltre 1 milione di titoli. 

Mondadori Bookstore | MA, the green, young and smart bookstore concept reaches the capital with its public opening on Saturday 17 February at 12 noon at the Maximo Shopping Center in the Laurentina district.

A new cultural centre dedicated to promoting reading and entertainment, highlighting the importance of eco-sustainability in an extraordinary area of Rome marked by the presence of numerous historical buildings and tourist attractions.

The tenth opening in Italy: this is a real achievement. The format is inspired by the Japanese philosophical concept of MA (間): “an indefinite space between heaven and earth where people can empty their minds and nourish their souls”, a place where one can stop amid the frenzy of everyday life and cultivate one’s passions, an innovative way of understanding and creating culture. The 300 m² of the bookshop show a green, eco-friendly mark, from the materials used for its construction — marine poplar, recycled iron and sustainable water-based paints — to the design itself — tall, curved furniture reminiscent of tree trunks, bonsai trees and sansevieria.

The new Mondadori Bookstore | MA houses a wide range of 22,000 titles, from the great classics to best sellers, including fiction, non-fiction and miscellaneous genres, with areas reserved for younger readers: We are Junior, the space with children’s books, educational games and illustrated fairy tales to stimulate little ones’ imagination; and the innovative Just Comics department dedicated to manga and comics with a nod to Generation Z. There is also a space dedicated to music, with a wide selection of CDs and vinyls, and a photo gallery for exhibitions and displays. For the opening, it will host “Camera 260” by the artist Matteo Melis, followed by “Napoli by light” by the Neapolitan artist Luca Del Prete, one of the most appreciated young emerging landscape painters. There is also a free co-working hub, guaranteeing comfort thanks to a special book buvette, a dedicated events forum ready to host presentations and signings and a free reading zone.

In addition to green and young, the bookstore is also smart. Multimedia aspects are within everyone’s reach in the bookstore, with the presence of multimedia and interactive totems to encourage social interaction and gain information on the hottest titles. Also present are self-checkouts, the click&collect service and the Trovalibro function, which allows customers to locate their desired title among those available in the store. For the less tech-savvy, a team of nine experienced and passionate booksellers are always present, ready to accept customers’ requests and satisfy their curiosity.

On 1 February, Mondadori Store, the most extensive network of bookstores in Italy, will open a new shop in Via Marghera in Milan. This is one of the most dynamic and lively shopping areas in the capital of Lombardy, and it will now have a new reference point for everyone interested in culture, reading and entertainment.

‘We are happy to announce the opening of the new bookstore under direct management in Via Marghera in Milan, which confirms the Mondadori Group’s commitment to spreading culture and promoting entertainment and reading. This opening is part of a broader strategy of continuous renewal, enhancement and development of our network of bookshops in Italy, which are increasingly attractive in their role as cultural strongholds,’ says Carmine Perna, Managing Director of Mondadori Retail.

Located in a strategic position inside Quasar Village, the bookstore — with an area of 250 m² — offers modern, innovative spaces with a layout and furnishings that enhance and emphasise the vast product range of Mondadori Store: a catalogue of more than 13,000 titles — from best sellers to the great classics, including fiction, non-fiction and miscellaneous topics — e-readers, stationery products, gift boxes and gift cards. A team of five passionate booksellers is ready to support and guide readers in their choice of books. The new Mondadori Bookstore in Corciano has a We are Junior area specifically designed for young readers. In this section, even the youngest readers can find a rich selection of books, illustrated fairy tales and educational games. The bookstore also houses a wide selection of comics and manga in the dedicated Just Comics department, with superhero comics and graphic novels.

The new store also offers a number of activities to engage readers right from the start.
On Friday 2 February at 5:30 p.m., Francesco Taverna will be at the store signing copies of his book Io sono Chico, the most famous dog on the web and a real social phenomenon that has also become a publishing success among teenagers. On Saturday 3 February at 4 p.m. and Sunday 4 February at 11 a.m. and 4 p.m., the bookstore will host a number of workshops for children ages 3–5 and 6–9, in cooperation with Leo Scienza, an association that has been working on scientific, environmental and cultural publishing for young readers since 2005. The science-themed programme promises to be packed with activities and experiments to engage and entertain little ones while they learn.

The Mondadori Bookstore in Turin also serves readers online. Customers can contact the store, follow initiatives and events on its Facebook and Instagram pages and use the digital services at Mondadoristore.it to check the availability of books from the catalogue of more than 1 million titles, order them and pick them up in store.

The new Mondadori Bookstore follows the plan for renewal and development of Mondadori Store, the largest bookstore network in Italy, with more than 500 stores in cities and smaller towns. This cultural organisation is active throughout the country, online with the e-commerce site Mondadoristore.it and the book club.

Mondadori Store, the largest network of bookstores in Italy, opens for the public at Merlata Bloom Milan. This new Lifestyle Center at the heart of the largest urban transformation project in Italy, in the north-west district of Milan, provides the public with an innovative space completely dedicated to culture and entertainment.

The directly operated Mondadori Bookstore is part of a wider project to redevelop the entire surrounding urban area through the construction of an ecosystem based on the highest standards of modern urbanism, where technology, entertainment, culture, daily life, and commerce coexist in perfect harmony with respect for sustainability and biodiversity.

“It is with pride and satisfaction that we inaugurate a new Mondadori Store within the Urban District of Milan. This opening is part of our strategy to continuously renew and develop our network, which has more than 500 stores, both directly operated and franchised, distributed throughout Italy,” says Carmine Perna, the CEO of Mondadori Retail.

Today, the Mondadori Store network serves more than 20 million customers every year, both in directly operated and franchised stores and on Mondadoristore.it

“In 2023, we also consider it a priority to invest in the development of physical bookstores, enriching our offerings while looking towards innovation, and optimizing our digital and cultural services. Innovation has been fundamental in our transformation and development, with effects on our people, organization, format, and technology. Mondadori Retail has not only achieved the expansion goals it has set for itself, but has also been able to respond in an increasingly timely manner to the needs of local communities by promoting and spreading culture in all its forms,” Perna says.

The continuous development and renovation of existing bookstores, the enrichment of services and offerings, and a focus on books have enabled the Mondadori Store bookstore network to strengthen its role in the market and record a 5.9% growth in revenues as of 30 September 2023 compared to the same period in 2022. In addition, continuous innovation in the format and optimization of assortments has enabled the network to increasingly approach the needs and reading habits of new generations by rethinking new areas dedicated to comics, manga, fantasy, and romance.

All Mondadori Bookstores are also confirmed as sociocultural centres due to the numerous events organized by the bookstores: presentations, book signings, and initiatives for schools such as Alunni in libreria (Pupils in bookstores), which aims to familiarize students with local bookstores, and Scrittori in classe (Writers in the Classroom), aimed at introducing young people to the literary world of reading and writing.

Mondadori Retail also focuses on bookseller teams, with specific professional development initiatives designed to foster and enhance the relationship with readers through digital tools, including social media.

Finally, there is no shortage of promotional initiatives designed for customers, such as one that is currently underway: the Manga Tote Bag is free until 26 November with the purchase of 3 manga books, either on the website or at participating bookstores.

The 240-square-metre bookstore at Merlata Bloom Milan shopping centre offers more than 10,000 titles, from best sellers to classics, including fiction, non-fiction, and other various genres. And for young readers, there is the We are Junior format, which includes educational games and illustrated books to stimulate children’s imagination with the most curious stories, as well as the innovative department Just Comics, dedicated to manga and comics. Other features of the store include a stationery area, which also includes gadgets, toys, gift boxes, gift cards and the Kobo e-reader.

The Mondadori Bookstore also serves online readers: customers can stay up to date on all the initiatives through its Facebook and Instagram pages. They can also contact the bookstore through Mondadoristore.it digital services to check if a book is available, order it, and pick it up in store, choosing from a catalogue of over a million titles.

This year, 15 October marks the centenary of the birth of Italo Calvino, one of the greatest writers of the 20th century, and the Mondadori Group wants to pay tribute to his life and literary output with a rich program of events.

New editions in bookstores

Events for this anniversary include new editions of Italo Calvino’s works. The author’s books are now available in bookstores with a new layout designed with illustrations by Jack Smyth, a young British illustrator.

From 12 October 2023, the Mondadori Bookstore in Andria in the province of Barletta-Andria-Trani (BT) will change location within the same city in order to renew its space and offerings and give it a complete makeover.
