"Visto", the magazine that communicates emotions and secrets of the heart.
Originally created as a weekly magazine covering news stories, Visto has always focused on the major events that attract the public's attention, and it has expanded over the years to include gossip columns and special sections providing practical tips, becoming an entertainment-based, popular information publication, with a loyal reader base.
From 24 June 2005, Visto has a completely new look in terms of layout, paper and content.
The weekly publication, which has always provided the most real and touching stories through a clear, simple and relaxing style, consolidates the well-established relationship with its readers by offering a completely new graphical layout and enriching its content.
Interviews with famous people and light and witty gossip are coupled with news on current events, television and stories on famous and common, everyday people, with the affectionate and often knowing style with which Visto has always kept its readers loyal. In addition, there are lots of new sections on beauty, fashion, travel and casting.
A completely new magazine, waiting to be discovered, with a larger format and more pages, printed on glossy paper. A wave of change that does not, however, change the ever present philosophy of the magazine, which is to offer a balanced mix of entertainment and information, service and relaxation.
Consequently, particular attention is given to new trends, to famous people adored by young people and to anything else that could be useful in understanding and facing a constantly changing world.
Visto achieves its maximum popularity during the summer, adding larger sections dedicated to quizzes and tests, in addition to a series of original gadgets, always publicised with television campaigns.
