Famiglia Cristiana (meaning The Christian family in English)[1] is an Italian weekly magazine published in Alba, Italy.[2]

History and profile[]

Famiglia Cristiana was founded in Milan in 1931.[1][3] Its original aim was to guide Catholics living in the rural and provincial north Italy to successfully cope with the spiritual and practical challenges of modern life.[4] During its early years it was a local magazine targeting women.[4] In 1954 its coverage expanded to include articles about food, fashion, politics and religion.[4]

The magazine is owned by Edizioni San Paolo, a Roman Catholic publishing group[5] and is published by Periodici San Paolo on a weekly basis.[6][7] It has its headquarters in Alba.[4]

In 1955 Famiglia Cristiana became an illustrated weekly magazine.[8]
