Various newspapers

L’Illustrazione Italiana

L’Illustrazione Italiana – initially called “Nuova Illustrazione Universale” – was founded in Milan in 1873 on the initiative of the publisher Emilio Treves. It became a much acclaimed weekly, circulating the most among the upper middle classes and middle classes, thanks to the quality of its articles (written by Pirandello, Carducci and Verga, among others) and of its illustrations, often the work of famous artists such as Achille Beltrami and Luigi Bompard. Its decline started in the period after the first world war until it was shut down in 1962.

Il Trentino

Il Trentino – that has nothing to do with today’s periodical – was a political daily founded in 1868 and shut down in 1877. It changed its periodicity, format and publisher often. In the period from 1872 to 1875 it acted as the organ of the Associazione nazionale liberale trentina (National Liberal Association of Trentino).
