The Il Sole 24 ORE Group joins the campaign for Financial Literacy Month 2026

Alongside the guides , there will be three live webcasts on ilsole24ore.com: every Monday at 12.15 pm, starting on 2 November, the Plus24 editorial team will host a live broadcast addressing the topic of the guide available at newsagents on Saturdays, featuring guests representing financial institutions, consumer organisations and specialist law firms. The three programmes will also be available on IlSole24OreTV, in the evening on channel 63 of digital terrestrial television. Rounding off the television schedule dedicated to Financial Education Month are the daily programmes Il Punto, at 12.00, and Il Punto Sera, at 20.45.

Radio 24 is taking part in Financial Education Month with initiatives aimed at raising awareness and providing in-depth analysis on the programmes Focus Economia presented by Sebastiano Barisoni and Due di denari presented by Mauro Meazza and Debora Rosciani.

Among the events, broadcast on the Radio 24 website and on ilsole24ore.com, is the Digital Round Table “‘ETFs in Plain Language’, live on 12 November at 3.00 pm, which focuses on one of the investment instruments most widely used by savers and forms part of the Group’s activities aimed at promoting greater awareness in investment decisions.

A central role is also played by the audio content offered by 24Ore Podcast, the hub that brings together the original productions of Radio 24 and *Il Sole 24 Ore*, which have for years been helping to promote financial literacy through accessible and authoritative content.

Starting with the new series of Young Finance, Marco lo Conte’s podcast that helps students and young workers understand the main economic and financial tools, helping them to make more informed choices about their future. To mark Financial Education Month, the programme will feature personalities well-known to younger audiences, with the aim of inspiring positive behaviours regarding personal finance, pensions and financial literacy: from sports commentator Pierluigi Pardo to TV writer and presenter Federico Taddia, and creator Federica Magistro.

 Among this month’s featured podcasts is also the Cripto podcast, a weekly programme conceived and presented by Vito Lops, created with the aim of providing information and education on the world of cryptocurrencies. Through interviews with experts and industry professionals, the podcast explains in simple terms the history and key players of the crypto-economy, analysing its risks and opportunities and helping listeners navigate one of the most innovative frontiers of finance. The Words That Matter – The Focus Economia Dictionary, the new podcast by Daniele Brunetti, which each week takes one of the most significant terms from economic, financial or political debate – such as ‘spread’, deficit, tariffs, budget or Golden Power, and explains it in a simple and accessible way, thanks to contributions from experts and commentary by Sebastiano Barisoni, helping listeners to interpret current economic affairs with greater insight. Rounding off the audio line-up is Mind Finance. A psycho-finance guide for anxious savers, by Marco Lo Conte, which explores the relationship between emotions and economic decisions and offers useful tools for developing a more informed approach to managing money and investments.

Among the most original and successful initiatives involving the newspaper’s community, Il Sole 24 Ore’s Silent Reading is back – a format that promotes reading as a means of raising awareness and understanding of the economic reality.

The first event will take place on Thursday 26 November at the University of Milan, at its Via Conservatorio campus, and will be hosted by deputy editor Roberto Iotti. The event will invite students and readers to take part in a shared reading session and explore current affairs in greater depth. The second event is scheduled for Saturday 28 November at the Biblioteca Ostinata in Milan, and will be led by deputy editor Jean Marie Del Bo. Both events form part of BookCity Milano 2026.The series will conclude on Monday 30 November at the Department of Economics and Finance at the University of Bari Aldo Moro, hosted by Plus24’s editor-in-chief, Gianfranco Ursino. The session will focus on personal finance and will cover topics such as budget management, saving, loans, mortgages, payment systems, cryptocurrencies, pensions and financial planning, with a particular focus on the needs of younger generations.

The Financial Literacy Month programme also includes the release of a new book by Debora Rosciani and Mauro Meazza, presenters of the Radio 24 programme ‘Due di denari’: ‘Invest now. It’s always the right time to take charge of your money”, available in bookshops from 20 November and at newsagents from 21 November. The book encourages readers to reflect on their financial choices, overcoming fears and prejudices to build a more informed relationship with saving and investing. Rounding off the month will be the new Il Sole 24 Ore 2027 Diary, available in bookshops from 27 November and at newsagents from 28 November. As well as serving as a tool for daily organisation, the diary includes sections dedicated to managing personal finances, featuring a monthly kakebo and worksheets for tracking income and expenditure, accompanied by analyses, trends and key terms to help you navigate the new year.

Guides, webinars, events, podcasts, books, radio and TV programmes, and local initiatives thus form an ecosystem of content that involves all the platforms of the Il Sole 24 ORE Group, reaffirming its status as a national benchmark in the promotion of financial education and informed economic citizenship.
