History and profile

Airone was founded in 1981 as an ecologist magazine primarily containing articles about animal world, nature, ethnology and geography. [1] [2] The founder and first director was Egidio Gavazzi. [2] It was for years the most widely circulated scientific magazine in Italy, [3] [4] with a peak of average circulation of about 250,000 copies per month. [3] [5] Between 1985 and 1986 it co-produced with RAI the nature documentary series Pan. [6] [7] In 1989 it was launched a spin-off for the younger readers, Airone Junior, renamed Dodo in April 1995. [8] [9]

Airone was described as a "magazine similar to National Geographic , but perhaps more conservation-minded", [10] and it was referred to as "a stunning natural history magazine, the best of several European magazines". [11] In an article about the first ten years of the magazine, the L'Unità journalist Antonio Del Giudice pointed how the magazine was "not just an editorial phenomenon, but also a cultural, political e social phenomenon". [2]

The circulation of Airone was 94,000 copies in 2007. [12] In December 2013 the magazine had a circulation of 83,000 copies per month. [13]
