I have a declared conflict of interest: I am an employee of PhotoSì S.p.A. and have disclosed this above. I am not editing the article's content directly and request that an uninvolved editor evaluate the following. All figures are supported by independent Italian press coverage.
1. Revenue (infobox). The article currently states "€37 million (2021)". The most recent audited figure is €51.6 million for financial year 2025, reported by Corriere Romagna (17 July 2026, "L'istantanea economica di PhotoSì. Ricavi oltre quota 51 milioni di euro") and by ItalyPost (9 April 2026, Alberto Cantoni, "Dall'analogico al digitale. PhotoSì supera i 50 milioni").
In the interest of full disclosure, I should note that other sources give slightly different figures: StartupItalia (11 December 2025) reported an expected €54 million, and il Resto del Carlino cited €53 million. These appear to be pre-closing estimates. I am proposing the €51.6 million figure because it corresponds to the filed accounts, but reviewers may prefer to attribute a range or use a different source.
2. Employees (infobox). Currently "170". il Resto del Carlino reports "duecento dipendenti più settanta stagionali" — approximately 200 permanent employees plus around 70 seasonal workers. Source: https://www.ilrestodelcarlino.it/rimini/cronaca/photosi-va-a-caccia-di-ad177b18
3. Album Epoca. The article states in the present tense that the brand's "main markets are Italy, the United States, Canada and Spain". This is sourced to two photography studio websites (berawstudio.com and artfotoweb.com), which are not independent reliable sources for a claim about company markets. The brand is no longer active in the form described. I suggest either removing the sentence or rephrasing the 2007 trademark registration as a past historical fact.
4. Partner list. The sentence listing Vodafone, Fastweb, Enel, Pampers, Sephora, Narciso Rodriguez, Nivea, Nexi, Bauli and Nestlé is sourced to a single trade-press article derived from a company press release (engage.it). It reads promotionally and is not independently corroborated. I suggest removal, but defer entirely to reviewers.
5. Outlets — no change requested. The article says "more than 7,000 outlets". I am aware of conflicting figures in circulation and do not wish to substitute one unverified number for another. I will return with a properly sourced figure once the scope of the count is settled internally.
Thank you for your time.
