The Corriere della Sera Foundation was established in 2001 with the aim of preserving and enhancing the historical and cultural heritage of the newspaper. The Foundation is inspired by the free exchange of ideas that characterizes the identity of Corriere della Sera, and contributes to the development of a culture of democracy and dialogue. In twenty-five years of activity, it has organized over 3,270 events; welcomed 7,400 guests—including Nobel Prize winners, scientists, intellectuals, politicians, and artists; attracted more than 1 million in-person attendees and 32 million online views; and delivered 90 educational lectures for schools over the past six years, reaching more than 900,000 students and teachers from secondary schools across the country, both in person and online. The Foundation has also published 119 books in various series such as Le Carte and Terzapagina, and organized 65 exhibitions in exhibition spaces in Italy and abroad. In Milan, the Corriere della Sera Foundation has played a role in creating many events that have become symbols of the city’s cultural life. In particular, it is one of the main creators and organizers of BookCity, to which it also contributes by opening Sala Buzzati to dialogue with the city. Sala Buzzati—“the home of the spoken word”—has been the venue for much of the Foundation’s activities for nearly two decades. A central role is also played by the reorganization, cataloguing, and digitization of the archives, which extend for nearly 2 linear kilometers and preserve over 15,000 files, 3,000 volumes, and 100,000 units of iconographic material. These archives contain all the historical documentation of Corriere della Sera from its founding in 1876 through the early 2000s, as well as that of the various periodicals connected to it, from La Domenica del Corriere to Corriere dei Piccoli and La Lettura. This includes correspondence between the newspaper’s editors and leading figures in Italian political and cultural history; graphic and artistic works ranging from drawings and sketches to cartoons and oil and tempera paintings; and photographic services and materials, with over one million shots, including glass plate and film negatives, positives, prints, slides, and contact sheets. In addition, the archives include those of the publishing houses Bompiani and Rizzoli; the photographic collections of Armando Bruni and Fedele Toscani associated with the periodicals of the RCS group; and 10,000 items comprising correspondence, articles, notebooks, and sketches from the personal collections of journalists and illustrators connected to the newspaper, such as Gaetano Afeltra, Eugenio Balzan, Enzo Biagi, Giovanni Cenzato, Roberto Ciuni, Iris de Paoli, Oriana Fallaci, Ugo Guarino, Virgilio Lilli, Piero Melograni, and Fernanda Pivano.
