Il Selvaggio (meaning the Savage or the Wild One in English) was an Italian language political and arts magazine that existed between 1924 and 1943. It was a media outlet of an intellectual group called Strapaese (meaning Supervillage in English).[1]
History and profile[]
Il Selvaggio was founded by Angelo Bencini and Mino Maccari, an Italian fascist artist and journalist, in Colle di Val d'Elsa in 1924 as a political magazine.[2][3] The first issue of the bimonthly magazine was published on 13 July 1924.[4] The founding director was Angiolo Bencini who held the post until 1926 when Mino Maccari succeeded him.[2] The latter also edited the magazine.[5][6]
The format of the magazine was 50x35 cm, but was changed to 44x32 cm.[4] It had variable number of pages ranging from four to twelve pages.[4] From 1926 Il Selvaggio was headquartered in Florence.[4] The same year the Fascist government forced the magazine to contain cultural and satirical materials, making its goal to promote a version of an anti-intellectual version of arts.[7] Then the magazine focused on the core of the Italian spirit observed "in the cradle of Italian civilization, namely the hills and countryside of Tuscany".[7]
The editorial offices of Il Selvaggio moved to Siena in 1929 and then to Turin in 1930.[8] In 1932 its headquarters was moved to Rome.[8] The frequency of the magazine was also frequently changed and was mostly published irregularly.[2] Leo Longanesi, Ardengo Soffici, Carlo Carrà, Mario Tinti, Manlio Malabotta, Amerigo Bartoli Natinguerra, Giuseppe Pensabene and Ottone Rosai were among the leading contributors of the magazine.[4] Over time Il Selvaggio focused on artistic subjects, including architectural topics, instead of political topics.[4] The last issue of the magazine appeared in June 1943.[2]
