Il Corriere di Gabinetto – Gazzetta di Milano was a newspaper published in Milan from 1 July 1785 to 1797 by the Pirola brothers. It was known as Il Corriere di Gabinetto from 2 July 1794 to May 1796 and as Gazzetta di Milano from 21 May 1796 to his last number dated 28 December 1797.
History
The brothers Giacomo and Gaetano Pirola were active as typographer in Milan from 1781. In 1782 they obtained the authorization of the government and started the publication of the Giornale Enciclopedico di Milano - Notizie Storico Politiche (in English: Encyclopedic journal of Milan, historical and political news).
On 1 July 1785 that newspaper was discontinued and the first number of the Il Corriere di Gabinetto - Gazzetta di Milano (in English: Courier of Cabinet, Gazette of Milan) was issued always by the Pirolas. Sometime it had a literary supplement named Estratto della letteratura europea (in English: Extract from European literature). The editor, in charge of choosing the news to publish and of writing them, was Gaetano Morandi, a priest from Genoa. The newspaper had in 1789 about one thousand subscribers.
In 1792 died Gaetano Pirola and Giacomo continued alone. From 2 July 1794 the newspaper was named simply Il Corriere di Gabinetto and from 21 May 1796 (just after the entrance of Napoleon in Milano) it changed the name in Gazzetta di Milano.
