Il Travaso delle idee, mostly known as Il Travaso, (meaning The Decanter of Ideas in English) was an Italian satirical magazine which was in circulation between 1900 and 1966 with an interruption in the period 1944–1946. Its subtitle was Organo ufficiale delle persone intelligenti (meaning Official Organ of Intelligent People in English).[1] The magazine was headquartered in Rome, Italy.

History and profile[]

Il Travaso was launched in 1900 and had its headquarters in Rome.[2] The magazine temporarily ceased publication in 1944 when the fascist rule in Italy ended.[2] It was restarted in Rome in 1946 and published until 1966.[1][2]

Il Travaso was published on a weekly basis,[3] and the publishers were Filiberto Scarpelli, Carlo Montani and Enrico Novelli.[1] The editor of Il Travaso was the Italian cartoonist Guglielmo ‘Guasta’ Guastaveglia.[2] The magazine featured cartoons and political satire and adopted a moderate-conservative political stance.[2] Some of the contributors were futurist artists, including Luciano Folgore.[1] Two volumes of Il Travaso were dedicated to futurism, published on 11 January 1931 and on 24 September 1933.[1] The magazine had readers from different social classes.[3]

During the fascist period in Italy Il Travaso published anti-semitic materials which also included a violent version of the religious antisemitism.[3][4] For instance, in April 1938 a poem by the 19th century Italian poet Giacommo Belli was published in the weekly which claimed that Jews were the murderers of Jesus and that it was legitimate to hate them.[3] Following the racial laws the magazine featured anti-semitic caricatures between the late November and the mid-December in 1938 which presented Jews as a social and economic burden.[3]

In the 1950s Benito Jacovitti, a well-known Italian cartoonist, was one of the contributors of Il Travaso.[5]
