Toscana Oggi - Redazione Toscana e Firenze

What Toscana Oggi - Redazione Toscana e Firenze does

Toscana Oggi s.c. is a Florence-based Italian cooperative (società cooperativa) that operates as the official regional news outlet of the Tuscan Episcopal Conference (CET). The company delivers Catholic news, Vatican affairs, and diocesan coverage across the Tuscany region through a multi-platform media ecosystem. Its primary product is the digital news portal at toscanaoggi.it, built on a WordPress CMS and supplemented by a mobile application, a video production arm (Toscana Oggi Tv), a weekly print and digital magazine (Il Settimanale), and an e-commerce shop for religious books and publications. Editorial coverage spans 16 local diocesan editions across Tuscany, including Florence, Siena, Lucca, Pisa, Arezzo, Grosseto, and Prato.

The company generates revenue through three primary streams: recurring digital and print subscriptions (via an annual digital subscription model), display advertising on its digital properties served through partners including Projectadv Srl and named local advertisers such as ChiantiBanca, and ancillary transactions from book and merchandise sales. Its go-to-market relies on content marketing through its website, organic social presence on Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn, and email newsletter signup. The primary customer segment is the Italian Catholic community in Tuscany, particularly church members and faith-affiliated readers seeking diocese-level reporting and Vatican coverage. Distribution and content-sharing partnerships with Vatican News, Tv2000, Agensir, and the CEI embed the outlet within the broader Italian Catholic media network. The organization employs approximately 25 staff.
