History and profile

Comunità was established by Adriano Olivetti in 1946.[1][2][3] The first issue of the magazine appeared in March that year.[4] It was a cultural publication of the Community Movement, which was also founded by Olivetti.[1] The magazine was based in Rome and was published by Edizioni di Comunità on a weekly basis.[5][6] It was also headquartered in Milan and was published on a bimonthly basis in the mid-1950s.[7] It featured articles on major political and cultural topics.[8] It also covered the topics of city planning, designing, literature, music, cinema and figurative arts.[7]

Comunità supported the development of the community.[9] The magazine was most read by people interested in social and cultural events and in political philosophy.[9] It was frequently distributed free to libraries and several institutions.[9] Its paid circulation was nearly 1,000 copies in 1955.[9] The magazine ceased publication in December 1960.[5]

The complete collection of the magazine is available at the Library of the Adriano Olivetti Foundation.[5]
