Società (meaning Society) was an Italian communist cultural magazine published between 1945 and 1961.

History and profile

Società was founded as a quarterly magazine in Florence in 1945.[1][2] The founders were Ranuccio Bianchi Bandinelli, Cesare Luporini and Romano Bilenchi.[1] Bandinelli also directed the magazine.[3] In 1948 the magazine became closely connected to the Italian Communist Party (PCI),[1] but not published by the party.[3] The headquarters was later moved to Rome[2] and in 1954 the frequency was switched to bimonthly.[1]

Società featured Italian fiction and poetry and occasionally included some essays on the theater and the cinema.[2] It was one of the publications read by the Italian intellectuals, who had Gramscian views.[4] Giorgio Napolitano was one of the regular contributors of the magazine.[5] The magazine folded in 1961.[6]
