The historic seat of the Corriere della Sera in via Solferino in Milan

The daily print newspapers in Italy were 107 in 1950, whereas there were 78 in 1965.[1] It has further declined since and 76 are listed in this article: 22 countrywide newspapers (including some "opinion" or "political" newspapers with very limited circulation, that are available only in Rome and few other places), 51 regional or local newspapers (some of which have a larger circulation than most countrywide ones) and 3 sports newspapers (all three having a much larger circulation on Mondays).[2] The total circulation (both in print and digital) of the 56 newspapers tracked by Accertamenti Diffusione Stampa (ADS) was 1,661,682 in January 2025, down from 2,292,549 for 57 newspapers in January 2020.[3][4]

Corriere della Sera, established in 1876 and based in Milan, has the largest circulation (200,000+ and 500,000+ digital subscribers),[5] distantly followed by La Repubblica, Il Sole 24 Ore and Avvenire (100,000+ each), and more distantly La Stampa and Il Fatto Quotidiano (60,000+ each). The circulation of some leading "opinion" newspapers, including Il Foglio, Il Riformista and Domani, is not tracked by ADS. Among regional newspapers, those with the largest circulation are Il Messaggero (based in Rome, print circulation in central Italy, 50,000+), Il Resto del Carlino (Emilia-Romagna), Il Gazzettino (Veneto and Friuli-Venezia Giulia), La Nazione (Tuscany) and Dolomiten (South Tyrol). The oldest newspaper is Gazzetta di Parma, established in 1735, with a print circulation limited to the sole province of Parma, Emilia-Romagna.

(est. 1896, Italian Socialist Party), Il Popolo d'Italia (est. 1914, Italian Socialist Party / National Fascist Party), La Voce Repubblicana (est. 1921, Italian Republican Party), Il Popolo (est. 1923, Italian People's Party / Christian Democracy / Italian People's Party), L'Unità (est. 1924, Italian Communist Party / Democratic Party of the Left / Democrats of the Left / Democratic Party), L'Umanità (est. 1947, Italian Democratic Socialist Party), La Discussione (est. 1952, Christian Democracy), Secolo d'Italia (est. 1952, Italian Social Movement), Liberazione (est. 1991, Communist Refoundation Party), La Padania (est. 1997, Lega Nord) and Europa (est. 2003, Democracy is Freedom – The Daisy / Democratic Party).
