LaPresse was founded in 1994 by the acquisition of Publifoto Torino, the photographic agency which launched
photographic journalism in Italy thanks to the initiative and talent of Silvio Durante, Fedele Toscani, Vincenzo
Carrese and Silvio Maresca. Born in the 30s, Publifoto aimed to testify through pictures the reborn of Italy,
politically, economically and culturally.
During the 90ies, Marco Durante, current LaPresse President together with his brother Massimo took the agency
Publifoto Torino owned by their father and founded LaPresse who rapidly transformed in one of the most dynamic
and innovative agency of the Italian news and communication landscape.
Since then, besides being a photo agency, LaPresse started producing in-house videonews. Later, in 2010, thanks to
the Agreement with Associated Press (through which LaPresse became exclusive distributor of the AP contents in
Italy), LaPresse became press agency enriching its services with text too.
Today, LaPresse can count on 8 offices (Milan, Rome, Turin, Florence, Verona, Trieste and Bruxelles) and more than
50 journalists (under the Director Vittorio Oreggia’s guide): thanks to these numbers and to a qualitative, complete,
fast and reliable production, the agency is a top-quality multimedia content provider for publishers, broadcasters,
companies and institutions. Moreover, it is the most international multimedia content provider in Italy thanks to
the renewed partnership (since 1st January 2020) with Associated Press: this agreement gives to LaPresse the
exclusive rights to distribute AP contents (both text, photos and videos) in Italy, while AP gives an international
visibility to LaPresse by distributing its text and photos all around the world.
