Il Piccolo is the main daily newspaper of Trieste, Italy. Its name derives from the paper's original small format.
History and profile
Il Piccolo was founded by Teodoro Mayer in 1881.[1] He was also the owner and editor-in-chief of the paper.[1] Mayer and other people who were instrumental in the establishment of the paper were right-wing pro-Italians.[1][2] Mayer supported the idea that Trieste was part of Italy.[1] One of its contributors was Carolina Luzzatto who was a supporter of this view.[3]
Il Piccolo ceased publication at the beginning of World War I and was relaunched in 1919.[1] Following the beginning of the Fascist rule in Italy the paper declared its adherence to the Fascist ideology in 1923.[4] Until the end of World War II the paper was edited by those with fascist political leaning.[2]
Il Piccolo is based in Trieste[5] and it is published by Finegil Editoriale SPA[6] which has been a subsidiary of Gruppo Espresso since 1998.[7] Local editions for the towns of Monfalcone and Gorizia and for the region of Istria (Croatia) are also printed. It has a progressive political stance.[8]
Circulation
The circulation of Il Piccolo was 40,231 copies in 2008.[9] The paper had a circulation of 31,302 copies in 2013.[10] The Espresso Group reported that the circulation of the paper was 28,800 copies in 2014.[5]
