List of newspapers in Italy explained

This is a list of newspapers in Italy, ordered according to category/scope and circulation.

The number of daily print newspapers in Italy was 107 in 1950, whereas it was 78 in 1965.[1] It has further declined since and 74 are listed in this article: 21 countrywide newspapers (including some "opinion" or "political" newspapers with very limited circulation, that are available only in Rome and few other places), 50 regional or local newspapers (some of which have a larger circulation than most countrywide ones) and 3 sports newspapers (all three having a much larger circulation on Mondays).[2] The total circulation (both in print and digital) of the 56 newspapers tracked by Accertamenti Diffusione Stampa (ADS) was 1,755,092 in January 2024, down from 2,292,549 for 57 newspapers in January 2020.[3] [4] Corriere della Sera, based in Milan, has the largest circulation — more than 200,000 on average —, and has more than 500,000 digital subscribers.[5]
