La Stampa

La Stampa is a historically significant Italian newspaper based in Turin. It has been a prominent voice in Italian media for many years. Recent news focuses on the sale of its parent company, Gedi, and the subsequent change in ownership for both La Stampa and La Repubblica. The Agnelli family, who controlled Gedi, sold the media group to the Greek Antenna Group. However, La Stampa itself was sold to a smaller Italian group, Sae. This marks a significant shift in the Italian media landscape, as the Agnelli family exits the media business after a century. The sales are newsworthy due to the historical importance of La Stampa and La Repubblica, and the potential impact on the political leaning and editorial direction of these influential newspapers, especially in relation to the current Italian government.
