Best Products & Shopping Guides | Consigli.it Recommendations

The Italian media group GEDI Gruppo Editoriale has detailed its practices regarding shopping recommendations and affiliate links on its websites, including Consigli.it, a platform offering advice on purchases. The disclosures aim to provide transparency to readers about potential financial relationships influencing product recommendations.

According to a statement outlining the group’s shopping guide practices, Consigli.it independently selects and recommends products and services available for online purchase or through expert consultation. When a purchase is made through a link provided in an article, Consigli.it receives a commission, but the final price for the consumer remains unchanged. This model operates on an affiliate basis, where the platform is remunerated upon completion of a purchase initiated through its links.

GEDI Gruppo Editoriale, established in 1955 as Società Editrice L’Espresso, is now a multimedia company operating in print, digital communication, radio, and television. It publishes national newspapers including la Repubblica and La Stampa, alongside local publications. The group also owns television stations Deejay TV, m2o TV, and Radio Capital TiVù, and radio stations Radio Deejay, Radio Capital, and Radio m2o. Its digital presence includes HuffPost and Kataweb.

The selection of products featured on Consigli.it is subject to editorial review. Redactions evaluate options based on product quality, value for money, and supplier reliability. Expert reviews and practical testing are incorporated, alongside verification against established standards. Articles clearly state the evaluation method and sources used, aiming to clarify potential conflicts of interest.

Consigli.it is a subsidiary of Alfemminile S.r.l., located in Milan, and is under the direction and coordination of GEDI Gruppo Editoriale S.p.A. The group reported a turnover of €224 million in 2024, with a net loss of €15 million, and employs 616 people.

In early March 2026, GEDI Gruppo Editoriale announced a preliminary agreement with SAE Group for the sale of La Stampa Events. The group also recently celebrated the 50th anniversary of la Repubblica with initiatives involving its readership.
