history
Il Mattino had a golden age in the 1980s when SSC Napoli football club , led by Diego Armando Maradona, won the Italian championship twice - in 1987 and 1990 . During these years the circulation soared to 180,000 and the range increased accordingly.
Today the sold circulation fluctuates between 70,000 and 80,000 copies, also because in the past few decades several other daily newspapers have established themselves with profound coverage of Naples and the region, including Cronache di Napoli , Il Denaro , Napolipiù and Metropolis in the province of Naples alone , as well also the Corriere del Mezzogiorno and the southern Italian edition of la Repubblica .
Since 2004, Il Mattino has been awarding the Premio Giancarlo Sinai journalist prize , named after the courageous reporter Giancarlo Sinai (1959–1985), who was murdered by the Camorra for his articles in the daily newspaper . He was practically executed in the street in front of his apartment with ten shots in the head from two 7.65 mm berettas.
