the title to go to the on-line edition. La Famiglia
Cristiana : Italy's
top circulation magazine, offering the Vatican's point of view of Italy
and the world Corriere della Sera
: Italy's top circulation newspaper, and not owned by media mogul
Silvio Berlusconi, who is also Italy's Prime Minster (Presidente del
Consiglio) La Repubblica : a
very popular tabloid-sized daily paper that started the competitive
trend of giving away magazines and other goodies with the paper each
week to boost circulation La Stampa
: daily newspaper that offers regional news sections Il Sole 24 Ore
: the daily business news, the voice of industry in Italy on
Italian and international events Panorama
: a top weekly magazine that never fails to have a topless woman
on the cover no matter what the lead story The International Herald
Tribune - Europe Section : this is the only paper on
this list that prints in English, and they always have stories on Italy
in their Europe section, often with a clearer perspective than the very
politically biased Italian media, I highly recommend it La Gazzetta dello Sport
: the top sports newspaper in Italy, a country more obsessed than
the European average with Calcio (football / soccer)
