La Voce di Mantova

What La Voce di Mantova does

La Voce di Mantova is a local daily newspaper (quotidiano) serving Mantova province in Lombardia, Italy. It is owned and operated by Vidiemme Società Cooperativa, a cooperative entity headquartered at Piazza Sordello, 12, Mantova. The newspaper has been continuously published since its 1992 registration with the Tribunal of Mantova and began operations in 1999; it is recognized as a publication of record for the province, with registered print ISSN 1594-1159, online ISSN 2465-132X, and ROC registration no. 9363.

The product portfolio spans a multi-platform local media offering. The core product is the online newspaper (vocedimantova.it), built on a WordPress CMS, with editorial sections covering Cronaca, Provincia, Eventi, Sport, Italia/Mondo, and Rubriche. Complementary products include the Edicola Online digital newsstand for current and archived editions, the La Nostra Libreria book publishing line for local history and sports titles, paid obituary and anniversary announcement services, and advertising placements (direct local sales plus programmatic inventory via partner EADV s.r.l.). The company is a member of FIPEG and adheres to the USPI service charter.

Revenue is generated across five streams: recurring print and digital subscriptions, local display and classified advertising, obituary/announcement fees, one-time book sales, and — most materially — direct state publishing subsidies under Italian law L. 198/2016 and d.lgs 70/2017, which totaled approximately €755k in 2025. The primary customer segments are general public readers in Mantova province and local SMB advertisers; secondary segments include programmatic digital advertisers reached through the EADV partnership. The company employs 37 people, operates only within Lombardia, and shows no evidence of geographic expansion, funding activity, or material technology investment beyond the WordPress stack.
