Mondadori Store, the largest network of bookstores in Italy, will inaugurate a new bookstore in Pontecagnano Faiano (SA), in Corso Italia, 18/20, near the Piazza Sabbato, town centre, on Saturday, 25 May at 10.00 a.m.

The new Mondadori Bookstore will offer the entire public in the town of Salerno, which is already home to the Costa d’Amalfi airport and which is undergoing urban development, a centre entirely dedicated to the world of books, culture and entertainment, thus creating an interactive meeting point and a true cultural reference point for locals and tourists alike.

The Pontecagnano Faiano bookstore – led by a team of young booksellers – expands the already extensive Mondadori Store network in the area, in line with the network’s strategy of spreading culture and promoting reading.

“I am happy to create this project with the Mondadori Store network of bookstores, since we share the same goals: to develop places dedicated to culture throughout Italy, making it accessible to everyone and satisfying the tastes of a wide public”, said franchisee Antonio Verderame, who has now opened his eleventh bookstore after the three in Salerno and those in Pagani, Mercato San Severino, Cava de’ Tirreni, Castellabate, Manduria, Baronissi and Arezzo. “Furthermore, by focusing on the quality of the shopping experience, multi-channel services and events, we always put the needs of our reading customers at the centre of our work”, he added.

The new bookstore covers 70 m² and offers a selection of around 11,000 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 children’s imagination with the most fascinating stories, and the department dedicated to manga and comics, 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 Pontecagnano Faiano 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.
