Il Marzocco was an Italian language weekly literary and art magazine which was published in Florence, Italy, between 1896 and 1932. The title was chosen by Gabriele D'Annunzio which was a reference to the symbol of the ancient Republic of Florence and also, of the popular rule.[1] The magazine covered articles on a wide range of subjects such as women's rights and political events. Its subtitle was periodico settimanale di letteratura e d'arte (Italian: Weekly literary and arts periodical).[2]
History and profile
[edit | edit source]Il Marzocco was launched in 1896,[3][4] and the first issue appeared on 2 February 1996.[5] Angelo and Adolfo Orvieto founded the magazine that was headquartered in Florence.[1][4] The magazine advocated the aestheticist approach of Gabriele D'Annunzio and an antipositivist stance until 1899.[1][4] Then it supported pure literature and art opposing the decorative literature.[1] The articles covered in the magazine appeared with photographic images.[6] In the period 1911–1914 Il Marzocco rarely featured literary work becoming a political publication.[1] It advocated the nationalism and war interventionism.[1] Following the end of World War I and the start of fascist rule in Italy the magazine managed to remain untouched and was not affected from the negative effects of the press laws dated 1926.[1]
As of 1926 Adolfo Orvieto was the editor-in-chief of Il Marzocco which was published on a weekly basis.[7] Ada Negri, Sibilla Aleramo and Enrico Corradini were among the contributors.[4] One of Ada Negri's articles supported the right of single women to give birth children.[4] Corradini served as the director of the magazine and also, published political comments when he was not a well-known figure in politics.[1][8] Il Marzocco praised Émile Zola as a genuine hero of modernism.[9] Irish writer James Joyce sent a letter to Adolfo Orvieto, then director of Il Marzocco, in June 1913 and asked him to publish his article on Daniel Defoe in the magazine.[10] Joyce's article was not accepted for publication probably due to its anti-British sentiment.[10] Because Il Marzocco had significant numbers of British subscribers.[10]
Il Marzocco folded in 1932.[3] Its issues were digitized by the National Library of Italy in Rome.[2]
