Tempo (meaning Time in English) was an Italian language illustrated weekly news magazine published in Milan, Italy, between 1939 and 1976 with a temporary interruption during World War II.
History and profile[]
Tempo was first published on 9 June 1939,[1][2] being the first full colour illustrated Italian magazine.[3] The founding company was Mondadori.[2][4] The magazine was modelled on the American magazines Life[2] and Newsweek.[5]
Tempo was edited by Alberto Mondadori, son of Arnoldo Mondadori.[6][7] Indro Montanelli was the first editor-in-chief of the magazine.[6] From its start in 1939 to September 1943 Bruno Munari served as the art director for the magazine and for another Mondadori title, Grazia.[8][9] The early contributors for Tempo were Massimo Bontempelli, Curzio Malaparte,[10] Lamberti Sorrentino, and Salvatore Quasimodo.[11] The magazine also included the work by photographers John Philiphs who previously worked for Life, and Federico Patellani.[11]
The headquarters of Tempo was in Milan.[12] Major sections of the magazine included politics, news, literature and art.[3] Although it was modeled on Life, unlike it Tempo covered much more political topics.[3]
By 1942 Tempo had editions published in eight different languages,[2] including Albanian, Croatian, French, Greek, Rumanian, Spanish, German and Hungarian.[6] On 8 September 1943 the magazine stopped publication following the occupation of northern Italy by German army during World War II.[3][11] In 1946 Mondadori sold the magazine to Aldo Palazzi.[10] Then the magazine was relaunched and was both owned and published by Palazzi.[12][13] During this period it held a centrist political stance.[12]
Tempo sold 500,000 copies in 1955 making it one of the most read magazines in Italy.[14] In the 1960s the magazine frequently carried political and news articles with moderate and conservative tones.[15] In 1976 the magazine ceased publication.[16]
