Quick Summary

Alfred Frassati was an Italian publisher who, along with Luigi Roux, purchased the Gazzetta Piemontese in 1895. They renamed it La Stampa, and it became one of Italy's most influential newspapers. Frassati served as editor and sole proprietor, maintaining La Stampa's reputation as a liberal, intellectual, and pro-democracy journal. When Benito Mussolini rose to power, Frassati refused to align the paper with the Fascists, ultimately selling it and leaving the publishing business. After World War II, La Stampa resumed its tradition of quality journalism.
