Alfonso Signorini Steps Down From Chi After Long-Planned Transition

He says the move was arranged with Mondadori since 2023 for personal reasons, not due to the Corona case.

Overview

  • Signorini announced his exit in a signed editorial released today, noting he agreed last October to leave the magazine’s editorial direction.
  • He explains the choice matured in 2023 as the pandemic reshaped his priorities, saying he feels ready to begin a new phase of life.
  • Day-to-day leadership had already shifted to longtime deputy Massimo Borgnis, signaling a managed handover coordinated with publisher Mondadori.
  • He rejects any link to the Fabrizio Corona affair and says he will clarify remarks he alluded to at a later time.
  • Coverage recalls he self-suspended from Mediaset and was investigated in December for alleged sexual violence and extortion tied to claims aired on Corona’s YouTube program.
