Milano was a newspaper published in Milan from 1640 to 1768. It is considered one of the oldest newspapers in Italy.
Milano was the first gazette published in the city of Milan. The first known number still in existence is dated 28 November 1640, [lower-alpha 2] but it is probable that the printing started some months before. [1] As all the newspapers of such time, it derived directly from hand-writing newssheets. It is probable, but it is not verified, that the editor of the Milano was Filippo Velasca who during the 1640s was a compiler of handwritten Avvisi in Milan. [1]
Since 1640 the typographer was surely the Malatesta family who continued to publish it for all the life of the newspaper. [2] The Malatestas were the official printer of the government in Duchy of Milan, having the monopoly of the official publications. They succeeded to pass this privilege for many generations, from Panfolfo (fl. 1594—1626) to Giulio Cesare (fl. 1635—1664), Giovanni Battista (fl. 1635—1654), Marc'Antonio Pandolfo (fl. 1664—1715) who in January 1672 started to print his name in the last page of the newspaper, and finally his nephew, Giuseppe Richini Malatesta (born in 1694 and died in 1793). [2] Due to their privilege of publishing, the Malatestas were like the voice of the Government. [3]
The Milano suspended its publications from 1697 to June 1706, when it restarted under the new Habsburg government of the Duchy of Milan. [4] It was published on Wednesdays on a weekly basis.
In October 1746 the newspaper took the additional title Ragguaglj di varj paesi (transl. News of many countries), [5] always published by the Malatestas [6] on Wednesdays. Following a decision of Karl Joseph von Firmian, at the beginnings of 1769 this newspaper was substituted by the Gazzetta di Milano, which during that year was directed by Giuseppe Parini. [7]

The cockade of Italy is the national ornament of Italy, obtained by folding a green, white and red ribbon into a plissé using the technique called plissage (pleating). It is one of the national symbols of Italy and is composed of the three colours of the Italian flag with the green in the centre, the white immediately outside and the red on the edge. The cockade, a revolutionary symbol par excellence, was the protagonist of the uprisings that characterized the Italian unification, being pinned on the jacket or on the hats in its tricolour form by many of the patriots of this period of Italian history. During which, the Italian Peninsula achieved its own national unity, culminating on 17 March 1861 with the proclamation of the Kingdom of Italy. On 14 June 1848, it replaced the azure cockade on the uniforms of some departments of the Royal Sardinian Army, while on 1 January 1948, with the birth of the Italian Republic, it took its place as a national ornament.
