Fiat has been active in the publishing business since 1926, when it formed Editrice La Stampa to own and operate the Turin daily newspaper La Stampa, which was founded in 1867. In 1980, the Group founded Itedi (Italiana Edizioni S.p.A.) under which it consolidated all of its publishing and communication activities previously carried out through 14 separate companies. Today, the Group's publishing activities are carried out through Editrice La Stampa S.p.A. and reselling of advertising space through Publikompass S.p.A.
