Tempo (Italian : Time) was an illustrated weekly news magazine published in Milan, Italy, between 1939 and 1976 with a temporary interruption during World War II.
Tempo was first published on 9 June 1939, [1] [2] being the first full colour illustrated Italian magazine. [3] It was subtitled as Settimanale di politica, informazione, letteratura e arte (Italian : Political, informational, literary and art weekly). [4] The founding company was Mondadori. [2] The magazine was modelled on the American magazines Life [2] and Newsweek . [5]
The headquarters of Tempo was in Milan. [6] By 1942 The magazine had editions published in eight different languages, [2] including Albanian, Croatian, French, Greek, Rumanian, Spanish, German and Hungarian. [7] The German edition existed between 1940 and 1943 and was also published by Mondadori. [4]
On 8 September 1943 Tempo stopped publication following the occupation of northern Italy by German army during World War II. [3] [8] Mondadori sold the magazine to Aldo Palazzi in 1946. [9] Then the magazine was relaunched and was both owned and published by Palazzi. [6] [10] During this period it held a centrist political stance. [6] In the 1950s Tempo was less sentimental and adopted a progressive and secular political stance. [11]
Tempo sold 500,000 copies in 1955 making it one of the most read magazines in Italy. [12] In the 1960s the magazine frequently carried political and news articles with moderate and conservative tones. [13] In 1976 the magazine ceased publication. [14]
Tempo was edited by Alberto Mondadori, son of Arnoldo Mondadori. [7] [15] Indro Montanelli was the first editor-in-chief of the magazine. [7] From its start in 1939 to September 1943 Bruno Munari served as the art director for the magazine and for another Mondadori title, Grazia . [16] [17] The early contributors for Tempo were Massimo Bontempelli, Curzio Malaparte, [9] Lamberti Sorrentino, and Salvatore Quasimodo. [8] In the late 1960s Pier Paolo Pasolini was the editor of an advice column named Il caos (Italian: Chaos). [18] The magazine also included the work by photographers John Philiphs who previously worked for Life, and Federico Patellani. [8]
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]
The cover of its 22nd issue (dated 16–22 June 1946) became the symbol of the freshly-proclaimed Italian Republic. The photo, taken by the magazine's photographer Federico Patellani (1911–1977), features a smiling young woman holding an issue of Corriere della Sera newspaper with the headline "È nata la repubblica Italiana" (Italian: The Italian republic is born), with her head sticking out through the newspaper. [19] The woman was identified in 2016 as Anna Iberti (1922–1997), who at the time worked as a clerk in administration in the socialist newspaper Avanti!. [20] [21]
In 1948 Tempo published the interview with the Italian bandit Salvatore Giuliano by the American journalist Michael Stern which was originally published in True magazine in 1947. [11]
