Corriere has feeds where you expect them and no news sitemap where you expect one. Collection here leans on section fronts, which is also where the useful signal lives.
ScrapeIt runs the Corriere collector as a managed service. You name the sections, regional editions and subjects; we build the crawl, run it on your cadence and hand back CSV, JSON, Excel or a push into your warehouse. Italian language matching, including accent and elision variants of your brand and product names, is part of the setup.
Because discovery here leans on section fronts rather than a news sitemap, the schedule matters more than usual to keeping the cost sensible. We set it per front rather than uniformly and pace requests deliberately.
We collect what the site renders publicly to an ordinary visitor and flag paid articles rather than working around the tier. We do not use subscriber credentials. Corriere journalism is copyrighted and their terms restrict automated collection and reuse, so the dataset is built for analysis rather than republication. Bring the use case to your own counsel before the project starts.
The article record covers canonical URL, headline, summary, section and subsection, regional edition where applicable, byline, publication timestamp, last modified timestamp, item type and the article identifier used in Corriere URLs.
The regional edition field matters more than it looks. A story in the Milan edition and a story on the national front are different events with different reach, and a dataset that flattens them reports a local mention as national coverage. We keep the edition explicit so the distinction survives into any chart built on it.
The access flag records whether the article was behind the paid tier at collection time and how much text rendered publicly, so an opening is never mistaken for a complete piece.
Front observations run alongside the articles, on the national front and on the section and regional fronts a client cares about: which stories appeared, in what order and at what time. Because discovery leans on fronts here anyway, prominence data comes almost for free.
Then the context fields: topic tags where published, lead image URL and caption, word count of the publicly rendered portion, outbound links, and the collection timestamp on every row.
The sport operation is large enough to be its own project. Volume is high, the cadence around fixtures is intense, and for anyone in sponsorship or rights work it is a genuine dataset rather than a side section. It is separable by section so it can be included or excluded cleanly, which matters because leaving it in will dominate any volume chart built across the whole site.
Economics and business coverage sits under its own brand within the group and is the natural companion collection for financial monitoring. Rows carry the brand so the two can be analysed together or apart.
Historical work is practical for recent years because article URLs are stable and section pagination reaches back. A retrospective on a company or a city runs as a one time job separate from the ongoing feed, with the access flag and the edition applied to historical rows exactly as to current ones.
Translation, where wanted, is a separate labelled field. The Italian source text is never overwritten; verification later has to be possible against the original.
Corriere della Sera is Italy's largest daily and its site is correspondingly broad: national desks, a large sport operation, economics under a separate brand, and a set of regional editions covering individual cities. Those regional editions are the part most collectors miss, and for anyone tracking a local presence they are frequently where the coverage actually is.
Access is mixed, with a paid tier over part of the output. On restricted pieces the headline, the summary and an opening portion render publicly and the rest does not. As everywhere, that is the line we work up to and not past.
The machine readable surface is uneven, and it is worth knowing before scoping a project. RSS works and is reliable, including a homepage feed. A news sitemap at the conventional path is not served, so discovery cannot lean on one. In practice that means section fronts do more of the work here than they do on a site with a full sitemap, which is a cost in requests and a benefit in signal: reading fronts is what produces prominence data in the first place.
Article pages carry structured markup with headline, publisher and dates, which gives a useful cross check when a template changes and the parsed fields start looking wrong.

Italian coverage is more geographically distributed than a national-only view suggests. A company with a plant, a store network or a dispute in one city will often generate steady coverage in that city's edition and almost none nationally. A monitoring setup pointed only at the national front reports quiet while the local conversation is loud.
Collecting the regional editions fixes that, and it also fixes the opposite error. A story that appears in one regional edition is not national coverage, and reporting it as such overstates reach. Keeping the edition on every row lets both questions be answered from the same dataset without recollecting anything.
The second consideration is Italian text handling. Accented vowels appear stripped in URLs and slugs but present in body text, elision attaches articles directly to nouns, and Italian compounds and inflections defeat naive substring matching. Brand and product matching is built with those forms in mind rather than assumed.
The third is that discovery leans on fronts. With no news sitemap at the conventional path, staying current means reading section fronts on a schedule. That costs more requests than a sitemap would, and it produces the prominence record as a by product, so most projects here end up with better positional data than they would have asked for.
The fourth is the paid tier, treated exactly as everywhere else: flagged, reported, never worked around.
Learn how to use web scraping to solve data problems for your organization
Leveraging advances in technology, the AI-powered web scraper has skyrocketed in demand and is helping to expand capabilities by automating tedious daily tasks and speeding up data collection from thousands of websites several times over.
Web scraping is a method of obtaining web data by extracting it from pages of web resources with the help of a program, that is, in automatic mode. It is used to syntactically convert web pages into more usable forms.
If you specialize in machine learning, you need to feed large amounts of data to the algorithms. Web scraping is the easiest and the most efficient method of collecting the data from all over the Internet.
ScrapeIt is a managed extraction company, not a tool you have to learn. Our team builds the pipeline, watches it as the site changes, and repairs it before your dashboard goes quiet.
You see a sample first, in your format, over the sections and regional editions you actually track, with the edition and access flags visible so you can judge the real coverage.
Yes, and for most Italian briefs you should. A company with a local presence often generates steady coverage in one city's edition and almost none nationally, so a national-only view reports quiet while the local conversation is loud. Every row carries its edition, so local and national coverage stay distinguishable.
Not at the conventional path, which is worth knowing before scoping. RSS works and is reliable, and beyond that discovery leans on reading section fronts on a schedule. That costs more requests than a sitemap would, and it produces the prominence record as a by product, so most projects here end up with better positional data than they set out to buy.
No. We do not use subscriber accounts and we do not work around the tier. We collect the headline, summary, byline, section, both timestamps, front position and the opening text that renders publicly, with the article flagged as paid. If full bodies are the requirement, the route is a licence from the publisher.
That depends on the brief, and it is a decision worth making deliberately. The sport operation is large enough to dominate any volume chart built across the whole site. It is separable by section, so it can be included, excluded or analysed on its own without recollecting anything.
Corriere journalism is copyrighted and their terms restrict automated collection and reuse, so this dataset is for analysis rather than republication. We work only on public pages, never with subscriber credentials, we honour the crawl rules the site publishes and we pace requests. Media monitoring on published metadata and publicly rendered text is common practice, but the use case is yours: have your own counsel approve it before the project starts.
