The Guerin Sportivo is an Italian sports magazine. It is the oldest sport magazine in the world.[1]

History and profile[]

Founded in 1912 in Turin, it is published every month.[3][1]

The title and the logo, depicting a medieval knight throwing a javelin, are inspired by the lead character in Andrea di Barberino's chivalric romance Il Guerrin Meschino ("The Wretched Guerrin"), written in 1410.[1]

Originally, it was printed on green paper, whence the popular nickname verdolino,[1] and also housed satyrical panels.[4][5] Characters used in his panels by artist Carlin (a zebra for Juventus, a female wolf for Roma, a devil for Milan and others) inspired most of the symbols of Italian sides used today.[4][5]

In the mid-1970s, Guerin Sportivo moved from newspaper to magazine format, starting to include a greater number of photos. Since its origins, most of the content was devoted to football, other sports being given less detail. Since the 1990s, virtually all pages are dedicated to football.[1]

Guerin Sportivo is published by Conti Editore.[6] The publisher itself is owned by the Corriere dello Sport – Stadio and Tuttosport groups.[7] The two daily sports newspapers are owned by .[8][9]

Circulation[]

In 2007, Guerin Sportivo had a circulation of 45,067 copies.[10]
