History and profile
Campo di Marte was established by Vasco Pratolini and Alfonso Gatto in August 1938.[1] They also edited the magazine[1][2] which had its headquarters in Florence.[1][3]
Campo di Marte declared its goal as "to educate the people" about all 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.[2] It openly questioned several aspects of the fascist regime in Italy.[5] Thus, it was subject to the censorship of the regime[5] and it was closed down by the regime in August 1939[6] after mere twelve issues.[2][7]
