[edit] History

Founded by the 18-year-old Arnoldo Mondadori in 1907 for the publishing of the magazine titled Luce!, it soon became an important publisher.

It is controlled by Fininvest, Silvio Berlusconi's family holding company. Marina Berlusconi is the chairman.

Italy Court of Cassation, in a sentence issued 13 July 2007, sanctioned that Mondadori was acquired from Fininvest, Berlusconi's media groups, by corrupting a judge.[1]
