Gazzetta di Mantova

Italy, 1664 If the test is the same title, still printed and still carrying general news, Mantua's paper has a very strong case. It is widely described as the oldest newspaper still issued under its original name, and Italy marked its 350th anniversary in 2014 with a postage stamp showing the oldest surviving copy, which is kept in the state archive in Modena. It remains a working local daily in print and online, so a current issue is as easy to pick up as a historic one is hard to find.
