Libero (English: "Free"), also known as Libero Quotidiano (English: "Daily Free"), is an Italian daily newspaper published in Milan with an average circulation of 22,709 copies in May 2023.[1] In 2004, Angelo Agostini [it] categorized Libero, alongside Il Foglio and l'Unità, as an activist daily (quotidiano-attivista), in contrast to the institution daily (quotidiano-istituzione) like Corriere della Sera and La Stampa, and the agenda daily (quotidiano-agenda) like la Repubblica.[2]

Angelo Agostini (2004) distinguishes three types of Italian daily newspapers: ... and [the third type] the activist daily ('quotidiano-attivista') such as Il Foglio, Libero or L'Unità. ... The third kind of daily newspapers is the most recent type, and has only appeared in recent years. It regularly organises mobilisation: from the struggle against immigration initiated by Libero, to the USA-day proposed by Il Foglio to support the United States after 11 September 2001, or the rounds (girotondi) organised by L'Unità to protest against war in Iraq.
