2023

A summer filled with emotions, music and entertainment with Tv Sorrisi e Canzoni at Radio Norba Cornetto Battiti Live 2023: the leading brand of the world of entertainment will, for the first time, accompany the concert tour organised by Radio Norba as media partner around the most suggestive squares of Southern Italy.

Battiti Square, an experiential village open to all near the main stage and where the public will be able to get into Battiti Live’s groove and fully experience the event, is this year’s great novelty, which was made possible thanks to Radio Norba’s mobile station and to an area devoted to youngest with food trucks and the Talk with Tv Sorrisi e Canzoni space.

During the stop-overs in Bari (June 23, 24 and 25) and Gallipoli (July 7, 8 and 9), an exclusive stage, on which Tv Sorrisi e Canzoni will organise a very extensive schedule of meetings and encounters open to the public, will be set up within the 2023 Battiti Square village to experience the concerts and backstage of Radio Norba Cornetto Battiti Live firsthand, and to develop magazine, website and social media contents.

“I’m very happy because this partnership between Battiti Live and Tv Sorrisi e Canzoni is truly special: it’s good for the public, who will discover many interesting events, in addition to allowing Battiti and Sorrisi to meet their readers in person and to establish a direct relationship with their all time followers. I thank Marco Montrone for his vision, which led to the creation of unmissable appointments together with Sorrisi for the Battiti Square of Bari and Gallipoli,” stated Aldo Vitali, Managing Director of Tv Sorrisi e Canzoni.

“Tv Sorrisi e Canzoni is the iconic magazine of the entertainment and music scene, as well as the most influential Italian radio and television programme. We consider this prestigious relationship as another milestone of our story, as another “label” as they say in the world of music,” continues Marco Montrone, Chairman of Radio Norba. “The exclusive contents will be developed by Sorrisi to offer an unmissable occasion to the public and to further allow us to see the show from another and totally new perspective. A heartfelt thank you to the Managing Director, Vitali, and his entire editorial staff, and welcome to the heart of music.”

TV Sorrisi e Canzoni’s Talk area

Sorrisi‘s vast programme of encounters will proceed throughout the entire day to entertain the public with exclusive and unmissable contents. Sorrisi‘s interviews and some of the most successful artists of the Italian music scene, such as Wax and Levante, Clara and Fred De Palma, Achille Lauro, Mr Rain and Annalisa, are among the most awaited appointments.

The youngest will also be able to meet their favourite talents, thanks to the partnership with Webboh, the first digital community devoted to Generation Z. The GenZ idol Charlotte M, singer Ascanio, creator Sofia Crisafulli and Apulian comedian Glenda Resta will be among the many creators present. Finally, presentations and book signings with many authors of the publishing houses of the Mondadori Group will also be organised.

Tv Sorrisi e Canzoni’s story on Radio Norba Cornetto Battiti Live can be followed minute by minute by all music lovers and its loyal community – consisting of 2.4 million readers (source: Audicom 2023/I), 2.4 million monthly users (source: Audiweb April 2023) and 1 million followers (source: internal processing based on Comscore data, May 2023) – on the brand’s social channels and website sorrisi.com.

This June, our brands take part in the festivities of Pride month, a time of the year dedicated to celebrating the diversity, inclusion and rights of the LGBTQIA+ communities.

Pride month is an occasion to foster values such as respect, equality and tolerance towards each individual, regardless of their gender, identity or sexual preferences.

For pride month, we recommend a series of publications on LGBTQIA+ topics published by our publishing houses. We believe in the power of books as a tool used to convey inclusiveness through stories speaking of all shades of love.

Mondadori and Star Comics created a special Pride month page on their respective websites to demonstrate their commitment towards inclusion and diversity. In fact, the same will contain various book suggestions for its readers. And there’s something for everyone: from comics to novels or autobiographies to memoirs.

Thanks to this initiative, people can access a vast range of editorial offers depicting heartfelt and open-minded stories full of brave characters.

Our publishing houses also suggest other reading suggestions:

The Wom also created a special section on its website. The Wom in fact addresses its community through such area by sharing content developed to give space to the LGBTQIA+ communities and clarify the most controversial issues to spread awareness and inclusion.

MONDADORI BOOKSTORE IMA, the new format of contemporary bookstores that favours the Japanese-inspired atmosphere, doubles stores in Piedmont: after the opening in January 2022 of the brand’s flagship store in Turin, inside the Officine S shopping centre, on 16 June a new store will officially open in Gravellona Toce, at the Le Isole shopping centre.

Built on an area of about 200 square metres on a single level, the bookstore aims to be a space where culture and respect for nature blend harmoniously to offer visitors a totally new cultural and shopping experience that is at the same time food and rest for the mind. The Japanese philosophy of Ma, where the brand takes its name, is a space where the soul finds nourishment and shelter from the frenzy of everyday life.

The lights and furnishings, which are used for the proposed relaxation exercises, are made of environmentally-friendly materials: marine poplar, recycled iron and of course wood in the form of curved furniture like tree trunks, bonsai and sansevieria throughout the store. There’s also a corner for reading and relaxation, multimedia terminals and other interactive tools to enhance the possibilities of enjoying the space and choosing products from more than 33 thousand volumes on the shelf from fiction to non-fiction, from classics to a range of genres, comics, CDs, DVDs, games, stationery, and gadgets offered, as well as the support and advice of the staff of young and experienced booksellers.

The space will also host literary and musical events, debates, conferences, book signings and workshops for young and old and a gallery of art exhibitions and photography by local and national artists.

“We’re proud of this second opening in Piedmont, the seventh in Italy in just over a year”, said Nello Nunziata, CEO for Retail Development. “This wonderful location amidst lakes and mountains”, adds Nunziata, “fully embodies the spirit of harmony, relaxation and contact with nature that we bring with our innovative project in partnership with Mondadori Retail”. “In addition”, he concludes, “the proximity to the Swiss border will be a source of enrichment and cultural exchange to make the editorial offer and events that we will propose even more varied and able to respond to the different needs of the readers who will visit us”.

With the aim of strengthening the activities of the brands’ multi-channel development and digital initiatives, Mondadori Media S.p.A. assumes an organisational structure intended to increasingly and more effectively monitor the constantly evolving markets.

As of today, Carlo Mandelli, CEO of Mondadori Media since 2020, will focus on the management and development of magazine brands.
Mandelli will also act as the Group’s Strategic Development Manager, thus directly reporting to the Mondadori Group’s CEO, Antonio Porro, with the aim of supporting business development by identifying new opportunities both in Italy and abroad. Mandelli is Chair of Direct Channel S.p.A. and CEO of Mondadori Scienza S.p.A.

Contemporaneously, Andrea Santagata, former General Manager of Mondadori Media, becomes CEO of Mondadori Media, thus overseeing the departments involved in the management and development of digital brands and the MarTech hub.  Santagata is also Chief Innovation Officer of the Mondadori Group, thus Head of the Information Systems Department, and member of the Board of Directors of Mediamond and AdKaora.

All the people of the Mondadori Group gather around their Chairman, Marina Berlusconi, for the state funeral of her father, Silvio, while several initiatives have been implemented by the Group to honour the memory of an unforgettable man, a courageous entrepreneur, an enlightened publisher and a far-sighted politician.

“In these difficult days we wish to express our compassion and sympathy for our Chairman, Marina Berlusconi, demonstrating both visibly and symbolically the deep void left by the death of her father, Silvio, a crucial figure in the history of our company and our country”, wrote the CEO of the Mondadori Group, Antonio Porro, in a statement to employees and collaborators.

That’s why the Mondadori Group has decided to leave Palazzo Niemeyer at “half-light” for the first time, leaving an entire part of the building entirely dark every evening this week.

A void, a lack of light that will also be accompanied by a minute of silence that will be observed this afternoon at 3 p.m. in all the Group’s offices, coinciding with the beginning of the State funeral, to symbolically embrace Chairman Marina Berlusconi and all the family members who mourn the death of their beloved father.

Furthermore, today the Mondadori Duomo and Rizzoli Galleria bookshops in Milan will remain closed for the entire day. The main events in stores throughout the country will be suspended and a commemorative image of Silvio Berlusconi will be displayed.

The partnership between McDonald’s and Giallozafferano, Italians’ preferred food media brand, is increasingly strengthened with 33 million sandwiches sold and is renewed with the 5th edition of Chicken Creations to present two tasty novelties inspired by the original McChicken, which will be available in all 670 restaurants from June 14 to August 29.

The two new recipes are based on quality Italian ingredients that are harmoniously added to the fully Italian chicken breast supplied by Amadori and Bimbo’s Italian-made bread. The McChicken Mediterraneo combines mozzarella and tomatoes with the strong taste of an olive and Italian caper sauce. The McChicken Pesto Rosso, available both in the sandwhich and wrap version, instead associates the delicate flavour of chicken with crispy bacon and a dried cherry tomatoes sauce made with Grana Padana DOP.

The Chicken Creations further strengthen the commitment of McDonald’s towards the Italian agri-food chain, from which the company purchases over 140 thousand tons of raw materials each year, for an investment of 370 million euros. Such data confirms the strong bond with this sector and further emphasises the continuous development of Made in Italy products. In fact, today, 85% of McDonald’s suppliers are Italian companies and, thanks to the partnership with the Qualivita Foundation, 20 partnerships have been signed with the Protection Consortia.

The Chicken Creations were jointly achieved by the chefs of McDonald’s and Giallozafferano, who once again worked on two recipes in the name of Italian excellence to bring a new tasting experience to customers’ trays.

“We are happy to celebrate the 5th anniversary of this partnership with Giallozafferano today. Such partnership allows to continue on offering new and original recipes to our customers and to demonstrate our strong bond with the Italian territory and its delicacies. For some time now, we decided to pursue a Made in Italy path and thus invested in the country’s agri-food sector to ensure that top Italian products can reach an ever greater public. Thanks to the precious 15-year partnership with the Qualivita Foundation, we signed numerous partnerships with the Protection Consortia. Among these, the one achieved with the Grana Padano DOP Consortium is the 20th, to which, according to the recent announcement of the agreement stipulated, the Pomodoro di Pachino IGP Consortium will be added,” stated Dario Baroni, CEO of McDonald’s Italia. “We are certain these new recipes will be very successful among our customers, who have always recognised chicken as one of their favourite ingredients.”

“In the fifth anniversary of partnership between Giallozafferano and McDonald’s, we can confirm that our project yielded excellent results,” stated Andrea Santagata, CEO of Mondadori Media. “Innovation, which has always been part of our brand’s DNA and of that of McDonald’s, the Made in Italy concept and this complementary target were at the basis of the partnership’s success. But the ability to create new languages and use the creators, or new media, were also an essential part of the conversion process: a high-value engagement which resulted in over 33 million sandwiches sold,” concluded Santagata.

The new Chicken Creations project involved some of Giallozafferano’s most popular top creators, from Daniele Rossi to Andriana Kulchytska, from Rafael Nistor to Foodqood, from Luisa Orizio to Sebastian Itarau and Eva’s Food Addiction. Each of them, through their own style and communicative tone, will create a series of exclusive contents on the social profiles of the most popular Italian food brand to entice its 60 million followers and 18 million unique monthly users.

The new recipes were presented today at a special event, organised at the McDonald’s restaurant of Milan, in Passaggio Duomo, and hosted by Willwoosh and the youtuber Guglielmo Scilla, together with the exclusive participation of the songwriter and record producer, Mr Rain.

The 2023 Chicken Creations campaign and visibility plans were developed together with Brand On Solutions, Mediamond’s project department, coordinated by OMD and in partnership with Leo Burnett, and promoted on all Giallozafferano’s digital channels, from their website to all their social profiles – Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube – and up to the App consisting of specific push notifications for McDonald’s drive-to-store and drive Apps.

Today, June 12, 2023, Silvio Berlusconi has left us.

The CEO, Antonio Porro, Board of Direcots, Board of Statutory Auditors, Management Committee and all the people of the Mondadori Group share the pain of their Chairman, Marina Berlusconi, and her family for the loss of the beloved Silvio Berlusconi, an unforgettable man, brave entrepreneur, enlightened publisher, forward-looking politician, undisputed protagonist of our Nation’s story.

His memory will never cease to accompany us.
