Overview: First published on March 5, 1876, Corriere della Sera (Italian for Evening Courier) is one of Italy's oldest daily newspapers. The foliation was four pages, printed in 15,000 copies. The newspaper was published with a double dating (March 5-6, for example), because due to the slowness of transport often copies arrived in the other regions the next day. The double dating would last until December 1902. In 1899 Corriere della Sera began to offer some interesting periodical supplements:

| A newspaper "Corriere della Sera" was founded by Giuseppe Rovelli in Turin in 1866, ten years before the newspaper founded in Milan, but after only two issues (August 1-2) it ceased publication for lack of funds |
• La Domenica del Corriere (The Sunday Courier, popular, illustrated, Jan. 8, 1899);
• La Lettura (The Reading, addressed to the educated public, Jan. 1901);
• Romanzo mensile (Novel monthly, which collects the serial novels published in the Courier, Apr. 1903);
• Corriere dei Piccoli (Courier of the Childrens, Dec. 27, 1908: it was the first Italian periodical to make a regular feature of publishing comic strips).
In the 1910s and 1920s, under the direction of Luigi Albertini (1871-1941), Corriere della Sera became the most widely read newspaper in Italy, maintaining its importance and influence into the present century. In 2001, 125th anniversary of the birth of the Courier, was created the "Fondazione Corriere della Sera", a foundation with the aim of curing and open to the public the historical archives of the newspaper, and to promote initiatives in favor of the language and Italian culture.
