Sandro Volta
Letter from Sandro Volta to Mino Maccari - 1939

1939

About the Item

S. written by Sandro Volta, editor-in-chief of the weekly "Oggi", addressed to Mino Maccari. Rome, April 27th XVII. 1p 21x29cm, on “Oggi. Direction and editorial staff ". Perfect state. 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. Sandro Volta, who had trained at the school of Longanesi, known for his reportages from Paris and beyond, for his collection of African art and now a recognized signature, as a synonym of style, asks Mino Maccari, his ex-colleague to the “Selvaggio”, to collaborate on the nascent magazine with its cutting-edge satirical drawings of current political affairs.
