Sogno was an Italian fotoromanzo magazine published between 1947 and 2011. Originally titled Il mio sogno, the first edition reached newsstands 8 May 1947. Giorgio De Fonseca, owner of publishing company Novissima, [1] managed to beat rival publication bolero film to market by just 15 days, thus becoming the first full fotoromanzo magazine. [2] The title was acquired by publishing company Lancio in 1975, which published Sogno until the company closed in 2011. [3] [4]
The magazine employed talents that would later become successful in the film industry, including Dario Argento who served as magazine editor, and actors Gina Lollobrigida (credited as Giana Loris) [5] and Sophia Loren (credited as Sofia Lazzaro) [6] .
