Società ( Italian: Society) was an Italian communist cultural magazine published in Italy between 1945 and 1961.
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]
