La Repubblica

la Repubblica (English: the Republic) is an Italian daily general-interest newspaper. It was founded in 1976 in Rome by Gruppo Editoriale L'Espresso (now known as GEDI Gruppo Editoriale) and led by Eugenio Scalfari, Carlo Caracciolo and Arnoldo Mondadori Editore. Born as a radical leftist newspaper, it has since moderated to a milder centre-left political stance. It has lately assumed a liberal position and a generally supportive view of the Democratic Party and former Prime Minister Matteo Renzi.
