Giornale per i bambini ( Italian for 'Newspaper for children') was an Italian weekly periodical published in the 1880s by Tipografia dei Fratelli Bencini and later Tipografia Bodoniana. [1] It first appeared as an insert in Fanfulla della domenica in 1881, [2] and established as an independent publication later that year by Ferdinando Martini, who was also the periodical's first editor. The target audience was children between the ages of 6 and 12. [3] The publication was owned by Ernesto Emanuele Oblieght, a Hungarian financier who also owned a number of other children's publications. [3]

The first issue was published on 7 July 1881, in which appeared the first installment of the serial novel by Carlo Collodi with the title La storia di un burattino ( Italian for 'The story of a puppet'). [4] Over the next four months, eight more installments were published covering 15 chapters. This was followed by a hiatus of three months, after which the story resumed on 16 February 1882 as The Adventures of Pinocchio until its completion in January 1883. [4]

Subscribers received a gift with the December 1883 issue, an Italian translation of the 1879 supplement to the George Weatherly book The "Little Folks" Painting Book. [5]

Martini was officially succeeded as editor by Collodi, who held the position from 1883 to 1885. [3] However, author and journalist Emma Perodi executed most of the editorial duties, but was not officially recognized in that role until 1887. [3]

The last issue was published on 26 June 1889, [2] after which the periodical and its staff was merged into Giornale dei fanciulli. [3]
