With the Decree of the President of the Council of Ministers of 17 April 2025 the resources of the Single Fund for Pluralism and Digital Innovation of Information and Publishing were allocated, amounting to 82 million for 2025. In particular, Article 2 of the aforementioned Prime Ministerial Decree provided for a support measure for companies engaged in the non-exclusive resale of newspapers and periodicals, which carry out the aforementioned activity in municipalities without newsstands, a contribution, for 2025, for an amount up to €4,000, equal to 60 percent of the expenses incurred pro quota in 2024 for IMU, TASI, CUP, TARI, rental fees, electricity supply services, telephone and Internet connection services, purchase or rental of cash registers or electronic recorders, purchase or rental of POS devices and other expenses incurred for digital transformation and technological modernisation, within the limit of € 3 million, which constitutes the expenditure ceiling, in compliance with the EU “de minimis” regulation in force.

A subsequent Provision by the Head of the Department for Information and Publishing of 1 August 2025 defined the procedures for accessing this benefit.

The contribution is granted to companies operating non-exclusive newspaper and magazine points of sale:

• with indication, in the register of companies, of the ATECO classification code 47.62.10 – retail trade of newspapers, periodicals and magazines, as a secondary activity code;
• with the point of sale located in a municipality with no companies operating exclusive points of sale for the resale of newspapers and periodicals, with primary and/or exclusive ATECO classification code 47.62.10;
• not subject to voluntary, compulsory administrative or judicial liquidation proceedings;
• if the point of sale employs staff, it must be in compliance with its social security and contribution obligations.

The expenses eligible for the contribution are commensurate with the ratio between the revenues from the sale of newspapers and periodicals and the total revenues, referring to 2024, of the individual point of sale, located in a municipality without exclusive points of sale for the resale of newspapers and periodicals.

Close to the opening date for applications, the list of municipalities without exclusive points of sale, with primary and/or exclusive ATECO classification code 47.62.10, identified on the basis of the data available in the Register of Companies and updated on 8 October 2025, will be published on the Department's website.
