History and profile

Rinascita was founded in 1944.[1][2] The founder was Palmiro Togliatti.[3] The magazine, published on a monthly basis, was headquartered in Rome.[2] It was an official organ of the Italian Communist Party (PCI).[2][4][5] The magazine described the party as the one, which had the most comprehensive vision of the nation's interests.[6] It attempted to make a connection between Gramsci and Stalin.[7] From 1962 the magazine was published weekly.[3][8]

At the end of the 1980s Rinascita temporarily stopped publication due to low circulation figures.[9] It was soon relaunched, but again ceased publication in March 1991.[9] Alberto Asor Rosa was the last editor of the magazine.[9]
