'''''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.{{r|LBC}} 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''). {{r|Pirola}}
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'').{{r|CdM}} The editor, in charge of choosing the news to publish and of writing them, was Gaetano Morandi, a priest from [[Genoa]].{{r|Pirola}} The newspaper had in 1789 about one thousand subscribers.
In 1792 died Gaetano Pirola and Giacomo continued alone.{{r|LBC}} 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''. This ''Gazzetta of Milano'' ceased to be published at the end of 1797, surpassed by the [[Jacobin (politics)|Jacobin]] newspapers.{{r|Pirola}}
The ''Giornale Enciclopedico di Milano - Notizie Storico Politiche'' was initially published on a weekly basis, from 28 June 1782 it was issued on Mondays and Fridays, as it was its successor, the ''Il Corriere di Gabinetto - Gazzetta di Milano''. From January 1788 it was issued on Mondays and Thursdays, from 2 July 1794 on Wednesdays and Fridays, in 1796 it was issued three times a week, and in 1797 again two times a week.{{r|Pirola}}
The ''Il Corriere di Gabinetto - Gazzetta di Milano'' was usually composed of 12 pages of Fridays, covering foreign and military news, a limited number of news from Italy, some advertisements and commercial information, the exchanges rates and the number of deaths in Milan. The issues of Mondays were less extensive.
