"From 1865 to the present day, this newspaper has been through so many events in our history: the start of the revolution in the 1900s, two world wars, through the expectation of the 2000s and, finally, the Covid, when, moreover, despite the difficulties we transformed the format from the pink sheet to the current tabloid.
This was how the editor-in-chief of Sole 24 Ore, Fabio Tamburini, wanted to begin the evening of celebrations to mark the newspaper's 160th anniversary. An event accompanied by Uto Ughi's sound journey at the Auditorium Santa Chiara in Trento.
'It is our rule,' continued Tamburini, 'to privilege the rigour of information. We are not a generalist but an economic information newspaper, and now we have managed to become the most multimedia Italian publishing group thanks to digital, Radio 24, the Radiocor agency, and a fast-growing video section'.
The CEO of the 24 Ore Group, Federico Silvestri, emphasised that 'we are working to ensure that for the next 160 years, Il Sole 24 Ore will continue to be the leader in national information'.
Silvestri went on to list other initiatives and events that will mark the anniversary during 2025. "With the idea of getting readers more involved, an open day will be organised in the editorial office where journalists will talk about the paper's invoice step by step". In addition, a series of group reading events are being planned 'given the increasing trend of this way of reading'.
