The new Mondadori bookstore in the “Nave de vero” shopping mall, will open to the public on Thursday 17 April in Marghera, just outside Venice.

The new Mondadori bookstore – which will join the existing 600 outlets of the most extensive chain of bookstores in Italy – will offer not only an extensive range of books, toys and stationery, but also an extensive calendar of events featuring big names from the world of music and literature, and consequently making a significant contribution to enhancing the attraction and appeal of the “Nave de vero” mall.

Among the first events will be an encounter with two leading names in music and hugely popular with young people: Mondo Marcio, on 27 April at 12 pm, and Caparezza, on 3 May at 5 pm, will meet fans and sign copies of their latest albums.

These events will be followed by a series of initiatives and book presentations that will be added to the already rich calendar of free concerts and events planned for the permanent stage in the centre of the shopping mall that transforms the “Nave de vero” into a poly-functional space that brings together a broad range of the public, with something for all the family.

The Mondadori bookstore, with a floor space of some 406 m2, offers a varied range of more than 20,000 titles, as well as a department dedicated entirely to children and younger readers, with toys and books just for them. There is also a section for digital readers in the corner dedicated to the Kobo e-reader. The store also provides a selection of the latest CDs and DVDs, in addition to an area where customers can buy stationery and other items including the product of the Emporio Mondadori line and a vast selection of gift boxes.
