Società (Italian: Society) was an Italian communist cultural magazine published in Italy between 1945 and 1961.
History and profile
[edit]Società was founded as a quarterly magazine in Florence in 1945.[1][2] The founders were Ranuccio Bianchi Bandinelli, Cesare Luporini and Romano Bilenchi.[1] Bandinelli also directed the magazine.[3] In 1948 the magazine became closer to the Italian Communist Party (PCI),[1] but was not published by the party.[3] The headquarters was later moved to Rome,[2] and in 1954 its frequency was switched to bimonthly.[1]
Società featured Italian fiction and poetry and occasionally included some essays on the theater and the cinema.[2] It was one of the publications read by the Italian intellectuals, who had Gramscian views.[4] Giorgio Napolitano was one of the regular contributors of the magazine.[5] The magazine folded in 1961.[6]
