With a project unlike any other ever seen before in Italian publishing, Corriere della Sera will deliver a special issue of the newspaper entitled “L’Italia che ce la fa” to 20 million Italian households, as part of its project #Italiavoltapagina nationwide, a project that since 20 April has been featured on the newspaper’s website.
Produced by the most prominent authors of the newspaper and the most important contributors and bloggers, this special issue will examine the main staples of quality of our lives - work, family, school, health and environment – offering a combination of analyses and encouraging stories to tell of an Italy that in these years has not surrendered and has continued to invest in the future.
“L’Italia che ce la fa” writes Editor-in-chief Ferruccio de Bortoli, is not an “artificially patriotic or purely solacing” project. It’s “the story of an extraordinary country that despite everything – and the list of burdens is endless – studies, works, manufactures and innovates”. A country that sometimes does not know how to exploit fully its efforts and cannot enjoy its records with pride: “Maybe – explains the Editor-in-chief - the raw material that we lack is confidence, confidence in ourselves, in our qualities, the ability to succeed, in the stubbornness of reinventing ourselves and carving a different role for Italy in the global world”.
The Special Edition of 28 pages will be delivered on 19 May, and within the following two days, directly into private mailboxes, and will also be available in a Digital Edition. On 19 May, the edition will be also distributed at newsstands to all readers of the newspaper. “This is a very important and demanding venture,” says Nicola Speroni, head of Sistema Corriere della Sera. “No newspaper has ever reached Italians door to door, and Corriere della Sera can do it thanks to its thought leadership and its unchallenged authority. The project contains a message which, I am sure, will be appreciated by all readers, as the many comments posted on our website thus far prove”.
Barbara Stefanelli, Deputy Director of Corriere della Sera, describes the project: “Distributing Corriere della Sera to Italian homes will be a critical step, but not the only one, in shaping a broad investigation that the newspaper wants to conduct with its male and female readers, a collective portrait of small and great experiences. On italiavoltapagina.corriere.it you can send ideas, stories, videos: battles to share. Starting with 20 May, moreover, the newspaper will be compiling the “Playlists of Italy”: 10 reasons, public and private, why it is nice to live in this country. Beppe Severgnini, as a side project, will offer 100 reasons for Italian pride among which everyone will have to chance to choose his/her 10 favourites: at the end you will find the reasons most clicked by browsers”.
