About the Item
Letter addressed to Mino Maccari, signed by Arrigo Benedetti.
Fagnano, 12 November 1934. 1p. with adjustments and developments.
"The usual notes. Fool or courtiers".
Important letter that describes the role and the hesitation of the man of culture during the fascist period, when the Mussolini's dictatorship becomes intransigent and the thought and press freedom fell severely in crisis.
"I have a few ideas, but confuse", Ennio Flaiano does tell to Mino Maccari in "Night Diary".
"You are an honest old fascist, but I think many have doubts on your sincerity and nobility", confesses Benedetti in this letter to Maccari and continues: "The moment is sad, you might be called "fool" if you show your point of view, or "courtiers", as soon as you say the word "fascism"".
Benedetti offers a solution and advises Maccari, no more called the "Tarpon" (tuscan way to indicate a big, aggressive and black mouse, as the fascists were called), to limit himself "to news of far events and speeches about not contingent but eternal ideas. (...) You should be hidden (..) in the culture and see with new eyes many things that rather seemed already peaceful." Il Selvaggio, the Maccari's magazine, had already changed the course: from fascist newspaper, anti bourgeois and revolutionary, now it is focused on culture. "Farewell to the past" is the article that opens this new season of art, political satire and literature, always following the country and sneering tradition, on cultural reality. In 1934, following the Benedetti's advice, Maccari highlights this direction.

Request for collaboration for the new publication.
Having placed the seals on Leo Longanesi's Omnibus, because it was a magazine not aligned with the regime, the publisher Angelo Rizzoli devises a way not to waste the intelligence and wealth of professionalism that had made the newspaper a new way of doing journalism.
He founded a new newspaper that looked at news, literature and history, namely the "Oggi", with the format and setting of the Omnibus, at the direction of which there were two new recruits: Arrigo Benedetti and Mario Pannunzio, who will become the most celebrated couple of Italian journalism.
On June 3, 1939, the first issue of Oggi was published, a newspaper that will launch young writers who will reach international fame such as Elio Vittorini, Tommaso Landolfi, Ennio Flaiano, Elsa Morante...
