Gazzetta del Mezzogiorno is an Italian daily newspaper, founded in 1887 in Bari, Italy. It is one of the most important newspapers published in Southern Italy with most of its readers living in Apulia and Basilicata.
Gazzetta del Mezzogiorno was first published on 1 November 1887 in Bari, Italy by the magazine editor Martino Cassano to fill the niche for a local newspaper in Bari despite Apulia's high rate of illiteracy; it measured at 70% in 1905. Originally published as the Corriere delle Puglie, its current title began to be used by editor Raphael Gorjux on 26 February 1928.
