Dagospia is an Italian web publication specializing in press review and behind-the-scenes coverage of politics, economics, society, and lifestyle. Founded and edited by Roberto D'Agostino, it has been active since 22 May 2000.

Characteristics

Dagospia defines itself as an "online information resource with a generalist content that deals with behind-the-scenes stories." Although often considered a gossip website, D'Agostino has described it as "a news bulletin." The site averaged 12,000 daily visits in 2000 and 600,000 pages viewed in a single day in 2010. As of 2024, the site reported revenues of €2.6 million and a profit of €506,000. It is among the 50 most consulted news sites in Italy.

For some periods, the former President of Italy Francesco Cossiga was a source of information and behind-the-scenes stories for the site.
