Il Caffè (Italian: The Coffeehouse) was an anti-Fascist Italian magazine which was published for a short period between 1924 and 1925 in Milan during the Fascist rule in Italy. Its title was a reference to an enlightenment publication with the same name, Il Caffè, which was also based in Milan and founded and edited by Alessandro and Pietro Verri from 1764 and 1766.[1][2]
History and profile
The first issue of Il Caffè appeared on 1 July 1924.[2] The magazine was inspired from another anti-Fascist magazine, La Rivoluzione Liberale, which was published and edited by Piero Gobetti.[3] Il Caffè was started as a biweekly publication, but from December 1924 its frequency was switched to weekly.[2]
The founder and editor of the magazine which was based in Milan was Riccardo Bauer.[2][3] Its sponsors were a group of intellectuals who were adhered to the principles of the democratic sovereignty and constitutional control of the government.[2] Ettore Margadonna and Ferruccio Parri were two leading contributors of Il Caffè.[3] Due to its anti-Fascist stance the magazine was continuously subject to the censorship of the Fascist authorities and was folded in May 1925.[2][4]
