The director of Espresso Lirio Abbate was fired. In his place comes the director of Forbes Italia Alessandro Mauro Rossi
Abbate say hello the Espresso. A few hours ago the editor of the Roman weekly, Daniel Iervolinofired the director Lirio Abbate. Instead of him comes Alessandro Mauro RossiDirector of Forbes Italy and managing director of the group bfc Media. And to think that, only in October, the group had presented a new editorial project for the relaunch of the weekly.
The editorial staff of the Espresso proclaimed a state of agitation and met in assembly giving mandate to the Cdr to “take any type of initiative to protect the prestige and independence of the publication”. To give the news is a press release from the same weekly.
The outgoing number seems guaranteed, not so the next one. Last June, when Iervolino acquired from Gedi the historical headline, Lirio Abbate – took over with the resignation of Marco Damilano – had been confirmed at the helm due to “continuity with the previous management”.
