Giornale Di Matematiche

''il Giornale'' ( en, The Newspaper) is an Italian language daily newspaper published in Milan, Italy.

History and profile

The newspaper was founded in 1974 by the journalist Indro Montanelli, together with the colleagues Enzo Bettiza, Ferenc Fejtő, Raymond Aron and others, after some disagreements with the new pro-left editorial line adopted by the newspaper ''Corriere della Sera'', where Montanelli had been one of the most important contributors. Montanelli left ''Corriere della Sera'' in 1973. The newspaper was first published on 25 June 1974 as ''il Giornale nuovo'', with Indro Montanelli as editor and member of the publishing company board of directors and an editorial office composed of 59 journalists. The paper has a conservative stance. The paper's headquarters is in Milan. In 1977 Montanelli, in financial difficulties, accepted an offer by Silvio Berlusconi, who thus became the new owner. In 1983 the paper was renamed as ''il Giornale''. When Berlusconi entered politics in December 1993, however, Montanelli left fearing for his own independence, and went on to found the short-lived daily newspaper '' La Voce''.

In 1992, Berlusconi left the role of the owner of ''il Giornale'' to his brother Paolo. Vittorio Feltri replaced Indro Montanelli as editor. , the publisher of the newspaper, Società Europea di Edizioni, was owned by Paolo (58.3%) and Mondadori Editori (41.7% directly and indirectly). The paper was published in broadsheet format until May 2005 when it switched to tabloid format. In May 2005 ''il Giornale'' started its online version. In 2007 the monthly business magazine ''Espansione'' became a supplement of the paper. As of 2016, Società Europea di Edizioni was still partially owned by Arnoldo Mondadori Editore directly for 36.90%, which is a listed company that majority owned by Fininvest. It was reported that Roberto Amodei, the owner of several sports newspaper of Italy, had interested to subscribe the capital increase of Società Europea di Edizioni.
