MILAN (ITALPRESS) – Born on November 16, 1901, Il Giornale d’Italia turns out 125 candles and prepares to celebrate the birthday with an event in Milan on Tuesday, November 17th at 6 pm at its editorial office in Palazzo Nerino, in via San Maurilio 13: not only a toast, but also an evening of reflection to face the challenges of the present and the future, under the banner of the mission – inherent facts in our Dna –.
On the evening of 16 November 1901 the first exit at the newsstand: The Giornale d’Italia was created by the political and cultural intuition of Antonio Salandra and Sidney Sonnino with the direction of Alberto Bergamini, called by the editor of Corriere della Sera to give life to an independent, modern, reformist and liberal newspaper. For 125 years he has been recounting the history of Italy and the world, through every single crucial phase of the country: the world wars, the post-wars and reconstructions, social transformations, economic miracle, crisis and shooting and the passage to the new millennium and the great facts and challenges we face.
“Representing today, with deep humility and pride, a historical testament with an important mission that is 125 years old is an honor that entails a great responsibility – says Luca Greco, director of the Giornale d’Italia – On these columns have written the most brilliant minds of Italian culture: from Gabriele D’Annunzio to Benedetto Croce, from Vilfredo Pareto to Antonio Fogazzaro, up to Giovanni Pascoli and Luigi Pirandello. And it was always this newspaper that gave life, on December 10, 1901, to the “Third Page”, that is the section culture. At a time when information is often likely to yield to clamor, superficiality or demagogy and rhetoric, without understanding events and facts, giving to fake news and misuse of AI, our primary duty to readers remains to search for the truth, to return a faithful map of reality, based on facts and numbers, while respecting different opinions. Telling what happens without artifices or typhoseries is not a convenient choice, but the strongest answer that a free newspaper can give to democracy!”.
“The lesson of rigour and social attention that has always gone through The Italian Journal in its history is not only intact today, but rather emerges with even greater urgency if we think of the incredible density of traumatic events that have upset the world over the past six years – we read in a note. Donald the time in which the daily has told seasons of epochal break: from restrictions to freedom with all its ethical knots of lockdown and green pass, passing through the drama of the return to war in the heart of Europe because of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict – not forgetting the economic impact for the renunciation of supplies at low cost of gas, oil, wheat and fertilizers – without forgetting obviously the coming of international law, with the expansion
“And again – continues the Giornale d’Italia – the multipolar world suspended between global energy crisis and the new race to raw materials and territories (with the U.S. who have relocated the “Monster doctrine” evolving it in the “Donroe”), the disturbing Italian public debt that has touched the record figure of 3,200 billion euros (will be 100 billion passive interests in 2027, all with impoverishment for health and welfare companies). To arrive at the growing social protests that cannot always be and only robbed by simplifying with the logic of the “young disorder to repress” but which represent a profound social discomfort (to be faced with an overview), the opportunity / threat of artificial intelligence (had seen us along Kubrick in ’68 with 2001 Odyssey in Space?) up to the hybrid and cyber wars and the collapse of birthrights, thinking about 350 thousand pensions.
In the face of these so complex transformations, Il Giornale d’Italia does not intend to shrink, but to raise: “It is with this spirit that we prepare to celebrate the first 125 years of history. It will be a moment of encounter and confrontation that will see the messages of Pope Leo XIV and the President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella, together with the institutional greetings of the President of the Council Giorgia Meloni, of the President of the Senate Ignazio LaRussia, of the Minister of Infrastructure Matteo Salvini, of the Minister of Foreign Affairs Antonio Tajani, of the President of the Lombardy Region Attilio Fontana and the Mayor of Milan Giuseppe Sala. Messages of greetings also of the Minister of Defense Guido Crosetto, Minister of Enterprises and Made in Italy Adolfo Urso, Minister of Agriculture Francesco Lollobrigida, Minister of Energy Security Gilberto Pichetto Fratin, as well as the President of Confindustria Emanuele Orsini”.
The evening will then preview the participations of the Editorial Director of the Giornale Vittorio Feltri on “The role of independent information in time”, of the Director of Corriere della Sera Luciano Fontana on “125 years of history, from Bergamini to today”, and of the Director of Il Sole 24 Ore Fabio Tamburini on “What information in the 21st century?”, as well as of the Director of Il Giornale d’Italia Luca Greco on “125 years and the great future”. These 125 years are not only a goal, but a point of redistribution towards the future and Il Giornale d’Italia, strong of over 5 million readers, of quality, at national level, and over 3.5 million digital followers.
