The Mondadori Bookstore in Cagliari will open to the public tomorrow with an entirely new look, and enhanced with a literary café: a place to meet, read a good book, participate in events with leading figures in the book world or stop for a break.

After the book bar, located at the bookstore entrance, you enter the shop itself, whose new furnishings offer readers a cutting-edge space dedicated to the world of books and entertainment.

This initiative once again shows the ability of Mondadori Store, the largest network of bookstores in Italy, to intercept the community’s needs and provide the city of Cagliari with a modern store capable of promoting culture in the area and creating an interactive meeting point. 

‘We are convinced that the literary café format at the Mondadori Bookstore in Via Roma is the right choice to offer something that is currently not available in Cagliari. We are in the heart of the city and, after the redevolpment works that has affected our area, we hope that not only residents, but also tourists, can find a pleasant environment to read and drink coffee as if they were at home,’ say Andrea and Roberto Felleca, Mondadori Store affiliates.

The inauguration of the Bookstore, which will take place tomorrow at 6:00 p.m., will be attended by the CEO of Mondadori Retail, Carmine Perna. Three special guests will also be present: Laura Spada, the young Matteo Porru and the anthropologist Bachisio Bandinu. These three Sardinian writers will accompany the literary café audience during the evening with a book signing.

The bookstore in Cagliari covers an area of 200 m² and has a catalogue of more than 12,000 titles, from the great classics to best sellers, including fiction, nonfiction and international books. Particular attention is dedicated to younger readers with the We are Junior format, which includes educational games and illustrated books to stimulate their imagination with the most curious stories, and the Just Comics department dedicated to manga and comics. Areas dedicated to #BookTok expand the range of products at the bookstore: areas for the younger generations of readers, along with stationery, toys, gadgets and gift cards.

The Mondadori Bookstore in Cagliari also serves readers online: customers can keep up to date through the Instagram and Facebook pages. In addition, customers can contact the bookshop through Mondadoristore.it digital services to check the availability of a book, order it, pick it up at the store or have it shipped, choosing from a catalogue of more than a million titles. The bookstore also accepts orders by phone from all customers.

The new Mondadori Bookstore is part of the plan to renew and continuously develop Mondadori Store, the largest network of bookshops in Italy, with over 500 locations in large cities and smaller towns. This cultural stronghold is active throughout the country, online with the Mondadoristore.it e-commerce site and book club formula, with an offer that combines books — which are always the focus — with entertainment experiences, events and multi-channel services, reaching more than 20 million customers every year.
