la Repubblica (meaning: "the Republic") is, as of 2008, the second largest circulation Italian daily general-interest newspaper. It was founded in 1976 in Rome by Gruppo Editoriale L'Espresso led by Eugenio Scalfari and Carlo Caracciolo and Arnoldo Mondadori Editore. It has since kept a centre-left political stance.

The newspaper also publishes a weekly supplement in collaboration with The New York Times which can be downloaded free of charge from its website.
