History and profile

Il Ponte was started by Piero Calamandrei in Florence in April 1945. [1] [2] Calamandrei also edited the magazine until his death in 1956. [3] The original subtitle of the magazine was Rivista mensile diretta da Piero Calamandrei (Italian : Monthly magazine directed by Piero Calamandrei). [4] [5] Later, its subtitle was redesigned as Rivista mensile di politica e letteratura (Italian : Monthly political and literary magazine). [6] Le Monnier was the first publisher of the magazine. [4] In its initial period it mostly covered articles on history, politics and science, and literary content was relatively infrequent. [6]

Il Ponte came out monthly between its start in 1945 and 1989. It has been published on a bimonthly basis since then. [2] Its headquarters moved from Florence to Milan. [2]

From May to August 1946 Il Ponte featured articles by Umberto Zanotti Bianco about his stay in Africo, a small village near the Aspromonte, in December 1928. [7] The magazine published an article on the views of the Italian educator and activist Augusto Monti in 1949. [8] Antonio Spinosa was one of Il Ponte's contributors and analyzed the anti-Semitic content of the Italian fascism in his articles in 1951 and in 1952. [9] Leo Valiani edited the special issue of Il Ponte on Yugoslavia in 1955. [10] The 1955 visit of Piero Calamandrei and other Italian intellectuals to China was featured in a special issue of the magazine in 1956. [11]

Il Ponte experienced frequent conflicts with Tempo Presente which was published by the Italian Association for Cultural Freedom between 1956 and 1967. [12]
