History
L'espresso was launched in 1955 by the eponymous publisher of Rome. It is one of the oldest and most authoritative newsweekly in Europe. It has been at the center of most of the civil rights campaigns in Italy, from divorce to abortion. In 1963 Eugenio Scalfari became its director. Other renowned journalists and writers who worked for the magazine include Giorgio Bocca, Umberto Eco, Giampaolo Pansa, Enzo Biagi, Michele Serra, Marco Travaglio, Roberto Saviano, Naomi Klein and Jeremy Rifkin.
L'espresso has a website with news and blogs. An electronic edition is also available online, but only to subscribers.
The magazine is presently based in Rome, but its business and finance newsroom is in Milan, Italy, now under Gruppo Editoriale L'Espresso property (also owning the major left wing newspaper in Italy, La Repubblica). The current editor is Daniela Hamaui.
