Overview
- Cardinali announced that the November 2025 edition will be the last before a suspension framed as a reorganization and a wait for better conditions.
- The 88-year-old founder cited personal exhaustion and the deepening crisis in print media, with costs outpacing revenues and widespread newsstand closures.
- Il Vernacoliere has long relied on sales without advertising or subsidies, a model Cardinali said is no longer sustainable in the current market.
- The magazine’s 65-year legacy includes its origin as Livornocronaca in 1961, the 1982 relaunch under the current name, and court wins over controversial papal headlines.
- Coverage notes potential paths such as digital monetization or new leadership, though no relaunch plan or transfer of stewardship has been confirmed.
