In 2009, the group L'Espresso created an online advertising consortium with RCS MediaGroup.[1]
In March 2016, the Italiana Editrice (ITEDI, group La Stampa) merged with L'Espresso group to create the leading Italian group in print and online information.[2]
In May 2017, the group changed its names from Gruppo Editoriale L'Espresso to GEDI Gruppo Editoriale. In 2020 EXOR, the company of the Agnelli-family took over GEDI Gruppo Editoriale and became the controlling owner.[3]
