Mondadori Store, the largest network of bookstores in Italy, arrives in Cogoleto (GE) with a new store to offer readers a place dedicated to the world of books and entertainment.

The opening of the Mondadori Bookstore, which is located in the small seaside village that hosts the house of Christopher Columbus, will take place on Thursday 28 November at 4pm. In addition, from 5pm onwards, members of the public will be able to participate in the book signing of Michela Nodari, a writer and educator who lives and works in Cogoleto, author of the illustrated books “Un Natale da Elfo” [A Christmas as an Elf] and “Forse non tutti sanno che” [Maybe not everyone knows that].

This new opening expands the network of Mondadori Store bookstores, in line with its strategy of spreading culture and promoting reading, creating an interactive meeting place and a true cultural presence.

“For us, it is a great opportunity to open a new store together with Mondadori, renewing and relaunching the legacy of the historic Fahrenheit 451 bookstore, which has been a cultural reference point in Cogoleto for several years: we will work together with its creator Tito Ghiglione, who will continue to work in the bookstore, to ensure that the new Mondadori Bookstore remains the pillar of the world of books in the country,” says Stefano Adami, Mondadori Store affiliate and manager of another 7 Mondadori bookstores in Northern Italy.

The new Mondadori bookstore spans 70 m² and has a catalogue of more than 7,000 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 in Cogoleto also serves readers online: customers can keep up to date through the 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. A telephone ordering service is also available to all customers.

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. The cultural organization is active throughout the country, online with the e-commerce site Mondadoristore.it and the book club. In addition to books, its primary service, it also provides entertainment, events and multichannel services, reaching more than 20 million customers every year.
