GEDI Gruppo Editoriale S.p.A., formerly known as Gruppo Editoriale L'Espresso S.p.A. is an Italian
media conglomerate. Founded in 1955, it is based in Turin, Italy.
History
In 2009, the group L'Espresso created an online advertising consortium with
RCS MediaGroup.
In March 2010, the group made public apologies to
Roman Abramovich after publishing an article stipulating he had lost his luxury yacht to gambling debts, an information that was ruled as false.
In March 2016, the Italiana Editrice (ITEDI, group ''La Stampa'') merged with L'Espresso group to create the leading Italian group in print and online information.
In May 2017, the group changed its names from Gruppo Editoriale L'Espresso to GEDI Gruppo Editoriale. In 2020 EXOR, the company of the Agnelli-family took over GEDI Gruppo Editoriale and became the controlling owner.
