ItalyOwnership & classification
Founded: 1867
Ownership
A Turin daily founded in 1867 (as Gazzetta Piemontese), controlled by the Agnelli family from the 1920s and most recently through the Exor-owned GEDI Gruppo Editoriale (Repubblica/La Stampa). In 2025-2026 Exor (Agnelli-Elkann) exited Italian publishing: GEDI's Repubblica went to the Greek Antenna group, while La Stampa was sold separately to Gruppo SAE - Sapere Aude Editori, led by entrepreneur Alberto Leonardis (publisher of several former-GEDI local dailies). In the new La Stampa SAE S.p.A., SAE holds roughly a controlling 51%, Exor retains about 20-22% as a minority, with stakes for local Confindustria bodies (Turin, Asti, Cuneo) and a Modena banking foundation; the deal closed in May 2026.
Funding
Financed commercially through subscriptions, newsstand and digital sales, and advertising, within the SAE local-newspaper group; no state ownership or licence-fee funding.
Affiliation & stance
A mainstream centre-left/liberal daily. It is now privately controlled by the SAE publishing group (with minority industrial/foundation and residual Agnelli-Elkann stakes) rather than by any party, church, union or government, so INDEPENDENT (centre-left) remains the correct classification.

Tourism, the boom in low-cost flights is driving up rents: in Italy, increases of up to €130
The article discusses how the growth of low-cost air travel has led to increased rental prices in popular tourist destinations across Italy and other European countries. According to an analysis commissioned by T&E (a group focused on transportation decarbonization), rental costs in five major tourism-dependent economies—Italy, Greece, Ireland, Spain, and Portugal—are expected to rise over the next five years due to increased air traffic. The study highlights that while low-cost flights boost tourism, they also contribute to housing crises, particularly in areas like the Balearic Islands, Crete, and Madeira, which experience high tourist density.
