Avvenire

Avvenire (English: "Future") is a daily newspaper which is affiliated with the Catholic Church and is based in Milan, Italy.

The paper has its headquarters in Milan[2] and is the organ of the progressive wing of the Vatican Council.

[3] Pope Paul VI strongly supported the daily and wanted a common cultural medium for Italian Catholics.

For example, in the middle of the 1990s, under the editorship of Dino Boffo, it increased its coverage of civil society and extended the parts of the newspaper devoted to cultural debate.

These innovations have led to a steady increase in its circulation, significant given the general decline in sales of other Italian newspapers.

Average daily circulation of Avvenire (1976–2022, ADS data). The radically different industrial plan compared to other dailies—consisting mainly in the sale of lots to religious institutions and similar—have ensured the newspaper a stable and constant circulation over time.
