LMDV Capital, the family office of Leonardo Maria Del Vecchio, has submitted a binding offer for a majority stake in Editoriale Nazionale (EN), the publisher of four major Italian daily newspapers: Il Giorno, La Nazione, Il Resto del Carlino, and the national edition QN. The board of Monrif, which controls Editoriale Nazionale, has approved the transaction, with formal completion pending regulatory steps. “This operation is part of a long-term industrial project that recognizes the central role of publishing for the country,” said Del Vecchio, who serves as president of LMDV Capital. “We believe in the value of quality information and editorial autonomy. Our commitment is to invest with patient capital, putting technology and skills at the service of journalistic work.” The acquisition follows LMDV Capital’s December 2025 entry into Il Giornale with a 30% stake, signaling a broader push into Italian media.
About LMDV Capital: The EssilorLuxottica heir’s single-family office from Milan
LMDV Capital is a Milan-based single-family office founded in 2022 by Leonardo Maria Del Vecchio, the fourth of six children of the late Leonardo Del Vecchio, who built Luxottica into the world’s largest eyewear company before its merger with Essilor in 2018. Leonardo Maria, now 30, serves as Chief Strategy Officer of EssilorLuxottica and President of Ray-Ban, while building his own investment platform focused on “Made in Italy” excellence. LMDV Capital has assembled a diversified portfolio valued at approximately €1 billion, with holdings spanning hospitality (luxury group Twiga), beverages (Acqua & Terme Fiuggi), entertainment (Leone Film Group), real estate in Milan, and now media. Led by CEO Marco Talarico, a former UBS executive, the family office secured €350 million in financing from Indosuez Wealth Management in August 2025 to support further acquisitions. The broader Del Vecchio family controls Delfin, the €50 billion holding company that remains EssilorLuxottica’s largest shareholder and holds significant stakes in Italian financial institutions including Mediobanca, UniCredit, and Generali.
