Campo di Marte (Italian: Field of Mars) was a literary magazine published briefly from 1938 to 1939 in Florence, Italy.

History and profile[edit]

Campo di Marte was established by Vasco Pratolini and Alfonso Gatto in August 1938.[1][2] They also edited the magazine,[1] which had its headquarters in Florence.[1][3]

Campo di Marte declared its goal as "to educate the people" about the arts.[1] It had a sceptical approach towards the European avant-garde and modernist experience as well as to mass culture.[4] The magazine had an anti-fascist political leaning.[5] It openly questioned several aspects of the fascist regime in Italy.[4] It was subjected to censorship[4] and closed down by the regime in August 1939[2][6] after only twelve issues.[5]
