l Sole 24 Ore has been informing families, professionals and the world of business and finance since 1865.
On the occasion of its 150th anniversary, Italy’s oldest and most influential financial economic newspaper decided to tell its story in the first person.
“The Sun Said It” is the title of the documentary that chronicles the unique way of reporting, the value figure, and the very vision of daily life.
secret of its 100-year success lies in always offering an objective and never predictable view of reality by letting the numbers speak for themselves, giving them “a soul” and a “story,” as Director Roberto Napoletano explains in the same documentary. Those numbers that have enabled Il Sole 24 Ore to use the sharp weapons of investigative journalism, to systematically dig into the international circuits of economics and finance, to guarantee truthful information that belongs to everyone, so much so that over 150 years it has been recognized as the certifier of facts, which has also become a figure of speech in the common language of citizens. If “The Sun says so,” it means then that it will be true.
A strong responsibility to readers, told in the documentary by those who sign its pages every day: journalists.
The premiere was presented at Il Teatro della Scala in Milan in the presence of President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella.
The exclusive event was attended by representatives of leading authorities and institutions, leading figures from the world of business, finance and culture.
