Timeline

1925

Don Carlo Caracciolo, 9th Prince of Castagneto, 4th Duke of Melito (23 October 1925 – 15 December 2008), was an Italian publisher.

He created Gruppo Editoriale L'Espresso, one of Italy's leading publishing groups, which included Italy's newspaper of record, La Repubblica.

He was known as "the editor prince", a reference to his aristocratic birth and elegant manner.

The oldest of three children, Caracciolo was born in Florence to Filippo Caracciolo, 8th Principe di Castagneto, 3rd Duca di Melito, and American heiress Margaret Clarke.

He was an older brother to Nicola Caracciolo and Marella Agnelli, the wife of Fiat S.p.A. chairman Gianni Agnelli and half-sibling of film producer Ettore Rosboch von Wolkenstein, whose daughter Bloomberg News journalist Elisabetta "Lili", Caracciolo's goddaughter, married Prince Amedeo of Belgium, Archduke of Austria-Este.

Along with his brother and sister, he grew up in Rome and Turkey, and spoke Italian, French, and English.

At 18, he fought in the Italian resistance movement during World War II.

After the war, he attended Harvard Law School and worked for a New York law firm that had as a partner Allen Dulles, future head of the CIA.

In the United States, he began to show a serious interest in publishing.

1951

In 1951, Caracciolo moved into publishing in Milan, and in 1955 set up the N.E.R. (Nuove Edizioni Romane) publishing house with the progressive industrialist Adriano Olivetti, manufacturer of Olivetti typewriters.

1955

In October 1955, the company founded the news magazine L'Espresso with editors Arrigo Benedetti and Eugenio Scalfari.

Caracciolo was a man of the liberal left.

He disdained his aristocratic title but betrayed it in his elegance of dress and manner.

He believed that a modern postwar Italian republic should be run on lay rather than religious principles, and his news outlets campaigned for reform of the laws governing divorce and abortion.

L'Espresso was characterized from the beginning by an aggressive investigative journalism strongly focused on corruption and clientelism by the Christian Democracy party.

This made the main shareholder Olivetti unpopular with the ministries and large companies that were the primary customers of his main business.

1956

In 1956, with the magazine losing money, Olivetti made Caracciolo a present of the majority shareholding.

1976

In 1976, Caracciolo and Eugenio Scalfari, with backing from the publisher Arnoldo Mondadori Editore, set up the daily newspaper La Repubblica.

It was founded in Rome as a national newspaper and published in the novel tabloid size.

1984

In 1984, shortly before it began to outsell the prestigious Corriere della Sera, Caracciolo took his publishing activities to the Italian stock exchange.

Four years later, he sold his holdings in Editoriale L'Espresso to Mondadori.

1989

In June 1989, Caracciolo was awarded the Italian Order of Merit for Labour.

1990

In 1990, he was shocked to learn that Mondadori's heirs had sold out to Silvio Berlusconi, whose politics he detested.

1991

In 1991, he and his wife Violante Visconti purchased the Torrecchia Vecchia estate, and subsequently developed its villa with architect Gae Aulenti, around which they created a notable, English-style garden to designs by Dan Pearson and others.

2006

After much in-fighting and litigation, the news publications were hived off into the Gruppo Editoriale L'Espresso controlled by the CIR Group of entrepreneur Carlo De Benedetti, of which Caracciolo remained honorary president until 2006.

2007

In 2007, a year after he retired from the Espresso Group to become its honorary chairman, he bought a 33 percent share in the French newspaper Libération.

Caracciolo died in Rome, aged 83.

According to his biographer and former co-editor of L'Espresso, Nello Ajello: "He set an example for free and independent editorial content that initially seemed marginal and exclusive and instead became a major force in Italian newspaper publishing."
