La Stampa (literally “The Press”) is one of the best-known and most widely sold Italian daily newspapers. Published in Turin, it is distributed in Italy and other European nations. The current owner is the Fiat Group.
It was founded in 1867 with the name Gazzetta Piemontese. In 1895 the newspaper was bought (and by then directed) by Alfredo Frassati, who gave it its current name and a national perspective. For criticising the 1924 murder of the socialist Giacomo Matteotti, he was forced to resign and sell the newspaper to Giovanni Agnelli.
It launched a website in 1999.
On February 1, 2006, it published the controversial Muhammad Drawings.

[edit] McDonald's lawsuit
In May of 2002, McDonald's sued La Stampa food critic and slow food advocate Edoardo Raspelli over an unfavorable review La Stampa. "The ambience was mechanical, the potatoes were obscene and tasting of cardboard, and the bread poor. I found it alienating and vulgar." The chain seeks $25 million in damages.[2]
