Campo di Marte (meaning Field of Mars in English) was an Italian language literary magazine published briefly from 1938 to 1939 in Italy.
History and profile[]
Campo di Marte was established by Vasco Pratolini and Alfonso Gatto in August 1938.[1] They also edited the magazine[1] which had its headquarters in Florence.[1][2]
Campo di Marte declared its goal as "to educate the people" about all the arts.[1] It had a sceptical approach towards the European avant-garde and modernist experience as well as to mass culture.[3] The magazine had an anti-fascist political leaning.[4] It openly questioned several aspects of the fascist regime in Italy.[3] Thus, it was subject to the censorship of the regime[3] and it was closed down by the regime in August 1939[5] after only twelve issues.[4]
