Il Giorno is an Italian-language national daily newspaper, based in Milan, Italy; it has numerous local editions in Lombardy.

History and profile[]

Il Giorno was founded by the Italian businessman Cino Del Duca on 21 March 1956,[1] with the journalist , to challenge Corriere della Sera, also a daily newspaper published in Milan. Later, because of a financial crisis, Italian public administrator Enrico Mattei and the state-owned oil company Eni[2] bought part of the publishing company. The paper maintains a liberal political stance.[3]

In 1959, Del Duca sold his stake to Eni and became the newspaper's editor.

In 1997, Eni sold Il Giorno to the Italian publishing company , which also owns two other Italian newspapers (il Resto del Carlino and La Nazione) under the Quotidiano Nazionale network.

In 2000, Il Giorno switched from a broadsheet to a tabloid format.[4] The paper was published in tabloid format until 2003 when it adopted again broadsheet format.[4] In 2009, the paper began to publish a new sports supplement.
