The development of Mondadori Store, the largest network of bookstores in Italy, continues with the inauguration of a new Bookstore inside the Maximall Pompeii, the most innovative experiential centre in Southern Italy, located just 600 metres from the Pompeii Excavations.

Located in the municipality of Torre Annunziata, the Maximall Pompeii is closely connected with the cultural identity and landscape of the area. This is all in order to maximise the idea of a Shopping Experience tailored to the needs of guests, whether they are tourists or resident families. Designed by the Irge Group, the centre is also an example of sustainable architecture attested by the international BREEAM recognition, which certifies the environmental sustainability of buildings.

“We are proud to inaugurate the first bookstore of Maximall Pompeii: a perfect location for the Mondadori Store network; an experiential hub in dialogue with the area, like that of Pompeii, with great tourist and cultural value. A context that perfectly aligns with our mission to promote the spread of culture, offering new reference points in the area for all book lovers,” said Carmine Perna, CEO of Mondadori Retail.

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 also serves readers online: customers can keep up to date through its 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. The bookstore will also offer customers the opportunity to place orders via telephone.

Mondadori Store and Thun work together to embellish Christmas for all book lovers

Throughout the month of December, Mondadori Bookstores are honoring their customers with a THUN Christmas decoration: a limited edition of the famous angel, given as a gift with the purchase of 3 books from Mondadori Group publishing houses

This Christmas a unique collector’s item arrives in Mondadori Store bookstores, the product of a collaboration between Mondadori Store, the largest network of bookstores in Italy, and THUN, a leading company in ceramic products and quality gifts since 1950.

It is the iconic angel symbol of the prestigious Bolzano-based brand, which for the occasion has been created in a unique limited edition design for Mondadori Store, holding a red book in warm Christmas colours. The exceptional hand-painted ceramic Christmas tree decoration, created by THUN designers, is conceived to share the magic of this time of year and promote the value of reading.

The two brands thus present the fourth edition of the special initiative aimed at Mondadori bookstore customers, following last year’s success with THUN’s signature porcelain Christmas mugs. A new collaboration born again this year from the communion of the founding values of the two entities, inspired by tradition, sharing and attention to every detail. The THUN angel and books from Mondadori Group publishing houses make the perfect Christmas gift for the homes of all lovers of reading and craftsmanship.

The angels will be free for all those who purchase 3 books from publishing houses AbraCadabra, Amz, De Agostini, Edizioni EL, Einaudi, Einaudi Ragazzi, Emme Edizioni, Fabbri, Frassinelli, Mondadori, Mondadori Electa, Piemme, Rizzoli, Sperling & Kupfer, Usborne and UTET, from 1 to 24 December 2024 at participating Mondadori Stores and Mondadoristore.it.
In support of the project, acommunication campaign has been launched across national media, online, social media and at points of sale.
