Solaria was a modernist literary magazine published in Florence, Italy, between 1926 and 1936. The title is a reference to the city of sun.[1] The magazine is known for its significant influence on young Italian writers.[2] It was one of the publications which contributed to the development of the concept of Europeanism.[3]

History and profile

Solaria was established in Florence in 1926.[4][5] It was inspired from two magazines: La Voce and La Ronda.[6] The founders were Alessandro Bonsanti and Alberto Carocci.[4] Its publisher was Edizioni di Solaria, and the magazine was published on a monthly basis.[7][8] As of 1929 Giansiro Ferrata served as the co-editor of the magazine.[9] Alessandro Bonsanti replaced him in the post in 1930 which he held until 1933.[9]

The major goal of Solaria was to Europeanize Italian culture and to emphasize the contributions of Italian modernist writers such as Svevo and Federigo Tozzi to the European modernism.[1] It adopted a modernist approach.[10][11] The magazine had an anti-fascist stance.[12] Its contributors were mostly the short story writers.[7] They included Alberto Carocci, Eugenio Montale, Elio Vittorini, Carlo Emilio Gadda.[13] and Renato Poggioli.[14] The novel of Elio Vittorini, Il garofano rosso, was first published in the magazine.[15] The magazine also featured poems by young Italian artists, including Sandro Penna.[1][16] Gianna Manzini published her first short stories in the magazine.[6] It also featured translations of modernist writers, including Virginia Woolf, Ernest Hemingway, William Faulkner, James Joyce, T. S. Eliot, Marcel Proust, Rainer Maria Rilke, Franz Kafka, and Thomas Mann.[11] Solaria was harshly criticized by other Italian literary circles and magazines, including Il Selvaggio, Il Bargello and Il Frontespizio, due to its frequent coverage of the work by Jewish writers.[17]

After producing a total of forty-one volumes Solaria ceased publication[7][14] in 1936.[1] Its final issue was dated 1934, although it was published in 1936.[1] In fact, it was censored by the fascist authorities partly due to the serialization of Elio Vittorini's novel, Il garofano rosso, in the magazine.[1][18]
