We are proud to announce that our publishing house Rizzoli won the ninth edition of the Premio Strega Ragazze e Ragazzi 2024 in the 8+ category, with the book “Rim e le parole liberate” by Maddalena Vaglio Tanet.
With a story that makes us dream and reflect, the author reminds us that words are the key to freedom and awareness. “Rim and the Liberated Words” is among the top-rated books by very young readers representing the 318 schools that make up the jury.
The awards were presented this afternoon as part of “Più Libri Più Liberi,” the Fair of Small and Medium-sized Publishers, in the Auditorium of La Nuvola, in the presence of about 1,000 primary and secondary school students from all over Italy and abroad.
On the occasion of National Tree Day, which is celebrated on November 21, we want to stop and reflect on the value that trees, fundamental guardians of our ecosystem, have for the environment and for the lives of each of us.
To mark the occasion, here are 5 reading recommendations from our publishing houses that will take us on a closer look at the world of trees, exploring, in a deep and sensitive way, their beauty and the mystery that surrounds them.
From scientific essays to poetry, each book is a journey that leads us to slow down and renew our deep connection with nature and the environment around us.

Do you know how to recognize fake news?
Today, false information is rampant on the web and can fool even the most attentive readers, influencing decisions and perceptions of the world. We talked about this with Andrea Sesta of Lercio and writer and popularizer Massimo Polidoro, who remind us how important it is to communicate correct information based on verified data.
This video is part of the project “A Wave of Sustainability,” which chronicles the Mondadori Group’s commitment to a more sustainable world by following some of the goals of the 2030 Agenda.
The best startups, selected from over 500 applications received, were the protagonists of the first Selection Day of plaiaccelerator, the Mondadori Group’s startup accelerator that transforms ideas based on the use of generative artificial intelligence into successful realities.
An intense and dynamic day, including speeches, presentations and networking moments, full of ideas and insights where all participants were able to discover from a new perspective the Italian and international ecosystem of Generative Artificial Intelligence.
During the Selection Day it was also announced that fastwebspa and startupitalia have joined PLAI’s strategic partners.
In a few weeks the names of the 10 startups that will enter the first acceleration cycle will be announced.

We are very happy to have received a special mention together with Accompany at the ninth edition of the Excellence in Training Award. PEF is the most prestigious initiative related to learning paths, the enhancement of a company’s human capital and organisational development, promoted by the Italian Trainers Association (AIF) with the aim of showcasing the best experiences in training. This award recognises the quality of our ‘Data Culture & Integrated Productivity’ course, which focused on the importance of data and its structural integration in an increasingly digitised work environment. Participants learnt how to use data to improve time management and organisational decisions, as well as how to optimise a team’s activities through digital collaboration tools. This training project was the result of a broader upskilling programme that has been ongoing in the company for more than two years. The special mention was awarded by jury president Maria Cristina Origlia to Elena Isacchini, Head of People Development at the Mondadori Group, and to Dario de Judicibus and Giovanni Sgalambro, Senior Consultant and CEO of Accompany respectively.

We are very happy that the novel ‘L’età fragile’ by Donatella Di Pietrantonio, published by Einaudi Editore, won the Strega2024 Prize. “I would like to thank the Bellonci Foundation and the Amici della Domenica, my travelling companions, whom I am already nostalgic for; my publisher as a team, because writing is a very solitary act but the book as a final product is the result of teamwork done with great professionalism and great love. I promise that I will use my written and spoken voice in defence of rights for which my generation of women fought so hard and which I find myself today verifying are no longer taken for granted,’ the writer said on the sidelines of the award ceremony.
Di Pietrantonio received 189 votes from the Amici della domenica, the group of jurors called upon each year to choose the best literary work from the finalist titles, in addition to a significant number of individual or collective preferences expressed by reading circles, cultural associations, schools and universities.
Congratulations also to Raffaella Romagnolo, in the finals with her book ‘Adjusting the Universe’ published by Mondadori Libri.
