La Stampa (English: "The Press") is an Italian daily newspaper published in Turin with an average circulation of 87,143 copies in May 2023.
[2] Until the late 1970s and early 1980s, when the country underwent a nationalization process, La Stampa and Corriere della Sera were not real national daily newspapers, as their geographical area of circulation was mostly limited to Piedmont for La Stampa and Lombardy for Corriere della Sera; thus, both papers shared a readership that was linked to its place of residence and its social class, mostly from the industrialist class and financial circles.
[5] The paper was founded by Vittorio Bersezio, a journalist and novelist, in February 1867,[2][6] with the name Gazzetta Piemontese.
[7] For criticizing the 1924 murder of the socialist Giacomo Matteotti, he was forced to resign and sell the newspaper to Giovanni Agnelli, who cofounded the automobile manufacturer Fiat.
From 26 January 1996 to 7 April 2006, it was called Specchio, which was published as a weekly supplement, a general interest magazine.
[21] In September 2012, La Stampa moved to its new headquarters in Turin, leaving its historical editorial building.
