Cino Del Duca (25 July 1899 – 24 May 1967) was an Italian-born businessman, film producer, and philanthropist who moved to France in 1923, where he made a fortune in the French publishing business.

Two years later he merged the two as the morning tabloid Paris-Jour that proved successful in a highly competitive, and at the time, overly saturated, Paris newspaper market.

[2] He built a publishing empire in France anchored by a series of very successful magazines such as Nous Deux, Télé Poche (founded 1966),[1] Modes de Paris, Les Editions mondiales and others.

Cino Del Duca expanded his media empire into the Federal Republic of Germany, Great Britain, and his native Italy.

His Milan book publishing company brought out works translated into the Italian language from English, French and other notable writers such as Romain Gary and Elizabeth Peters.

With Gaetano Baldacci and Enrico Mattei, in April 1956 Cino Del Duca founded the Il Giorno newspaper in Milan.
