Pietro Supino joins the Board of Directors of the Italian media group GEDI
Pietro Supino has been appointed to the board of directors of the Italian media group Gruppo Editoriale (GEDI), the publisher of the daily newspapers *La Repubblica*, *La Stampa*, and *Il Secolo XIX*. In addition to publishing daily newspapers and magazines, the media group operates three national radio stations and is active in the digital and advertising sectors.
The appointment of Pietro Supino was announced by GEDI on Thursday after the investment company Exor acquired the majority of shares in the media group. Exor also owns 43.4 percent of the British weekly magazine The Economist. The takeover by Exor is intended to create the necessary stability to accelerate GEDI's planned technological and structural transformation process, according to the press release.
