Direct peers

• Tuttosport: Turin-based sports daily newspaper with strong Piedmont regional coverage, particularly football. Directly comparable to Rivista IDEA's IDEA Sport vertical, competing for the same sports-news audience and sports-advertising spend in the region.
• La Stampa: Turin-based daily newspaper with deep Piedmont regional coverage, including Cuneo province. Closest direct competitor serving overlapping regional audiences with both print and digital products, and a comparable local-news focus.

Broad incumbents

• Corriere della Sera: Italy's leading national daily newspaper with extensive regional Piedmont coverage. Operates a much broader portfolio including national news, sports, and lifestyle verticals, competing for both readers and advertisers in Cuneo.
• La Repubblica: Major national Italian daily with regional Piedmont editions and a substantial digital footprint. Competes for advertising and reader attention across the same geographic territory as Rivista IDEA, though at a national scale.

Regional players

• Il Tirreno: Regional Italian online daily newspaper covering Tuscany with similar hyper-local editorial structure. Comparable as a peer regional digital news outlet serving a defined Italian territory, though in a different region.
• L'Unione Sarda: Leading regional newspaper of Sardinia operating a strong digital presence with hyper-local coverage. Comparable to Rivista IDEA as a privately-held, region-focused digital-first Italian news outlet.

Others
