La Voce (meaning the Voice in English)[1] was an Italian weekly literary magazine which was published in Florence, Italy, between 1908 and 1916. The magazine is also one of the publications which contributed to the cultural basis of the early forms of Fascism.[2]
History and profile
La Voce was established as a weekly cultural review by Giuseppe Prezzolini, an anti-conformist Italian author, in 1908.[3][4] Prezzolini was also co-founder another literary magazine, Leonardo.[4] La Voce was based in Florence[5] and Giovanni Papini was functional in its establishment.[6][7] The first issue of La Voce appeared 20 December 1908.[8]
Prezzolini stopped his writings in the magazine in 1912 due to disagreements with other significant contributors, including Papini, over Italy's intervention in the Libyan war.[9] He resigned from the magazine as editor-in-chief which he held between 1908 and 1913.[9][10] Then Papini left the magazine in 1913.[9] Prezzolini was succeeded by Giuseppe de Robertis as editor-in-chief who he held the post from December 1914 to December 1916.[9]
Soon after its inception La Voce appeared as the most influential forum for dissents in Italy to discuss "social problems created by the new forms of human coexistence in the new industrial world."[11] The early contributors of the magazine considered poetry as a social commitment and moral responsibility.[4] The ultimate goal of the magazine was to produce involved readers having social awareness.[12] To this end La Voce employed a language and approach that would welcome all classes.[12] Sigmund Freud's theories on sexuality were first introduced to Italians by the magazine via an article by Roberto Assagioli published in 1910.[8]
Until 1914 the magazine exclusively focused on philosophical, ethical and political affairs[3] in addition to literary content.[13] During the period between 14 December 1914 and 31 December 1916 the magazine was published with the title of La Voce Bianca.[9] The content of the magazine also changed, and it became a pure literary review using the motto, know how to read.[3] The writers of the magazine at that time commonly produced poetic or prose fragments.[14] It was closely allied with futurists[7] which it had rejected from its start to 1913 when Papini was one of the contributors.[11]
Italian writer and poet Vincenzo Cardarelli and Ardengo Soffici were among the regular contributors to the magazine.[10][15] The other significant contributor was Benito Mussolini.[16]
The magazine ceased publication in December 1916 after eighteen issues.[3][9]
Le Voce was modelled by German expressionist magazine Der Sturm which was started in 1910.[11]
