History

"Founded as the official magazine of New York's Circolo Culturale di Mola di Bari ... The magazine has continued to grow and improve ... becoming a solid point of reference to the Italian community in America." [1] "L'Idea, directed by Leonardo Campanile, was distributed free to anyone who requests it: a tradition since 1974, repeated year after year, that transformed what once was just a large journal(broadsheet format) into a magazine that is widely distributed and has received numerous awards ...", [2] with 48-60 pages, tabloid format and full color. L'Idea was used as the official newsletter for the Italian community by the Italian Consulate of New York."The magazine funded and sponsored many cultural and social activities for the Italian community, including the yearly Miss Puglia USA and Miss L'Idea competitions. Winners received scholarships... Tiziano Thomas Dossena assumed the role of Editorial Director in 1990 ... L'Idea had administrative offices in Brooklyn for 39 years, until it stopped its paper version", [3] becoming an online magazine. [4] The magazine received the '2012 Globo Tricolore International Award', "similar to an Oscar for famous Italians abroad who are unknown in their homeland... for its almost forty years at the service of the Italian community in America." [5]
