Carlo Tresca was the editor-in-chief (or equivalent) at several radical newspapers over his career, but the one that he founded and ran for decades — <em>Il Martello</em> — is the one most closely identified with him, and he with it. <br /><br />Tresca founded <em>Il Martello</em> in 1917, and he directed it (with some interruptions due to poor finances) until his assassination in 1943. <br /><br />As is evident from the broad range of writing genres it encompassed, <em>Il Martello</em> was not a traditional Italian anarchist newspaper or a “movement” publication in the specific way that <em>La Questione Sociale</em> (edited by Ludovico Caminita and by Galleani briefly) was for anarcho-syndicalists, or the <em>Cronaca Sovversiva</em> and <em>L’Adunata dei Refrattari</em> were for anti-organizationist anarchist communists like Galleani and his followers. <br /><br />Rather, <em>Il Martello</em> was too eclectic and unorthodox, like Tresca himself, to be classified according to conventional typology —“You can’t label him. You can’t classify him,” said Max Eastman in a famous <em>The New Yorker</em> profile. <br /><br />The personal affection that Tresca’s friends and colleagues had for him infuriated the more cerebral Galleani and his ultraloyal founders, who unfairly attacked Tresca personally when they were unable to do so doctrinally.

<em><strong>Il Proletario </strong></em>[The Worker], <strong>Anno 28</strong><em>. </em><strong>Chicago, Brooklyn: Industrial Workers of the World, 1924.</strong>
The full run of issues of <em>Il Proletario</em> from 1924, companion volume to the full run of 1923 issues also in the collection.<br /><p><span style="font-weight:400;">This most important I.W.W. newspaper (which began in 1896 and lasted until 1946) was edited at various times by an all-star list of the Italian American left, from Carlo Tresca and Mario De Ciampis to Arturo Giovannitti, Angelo Faggi, Giuseppe Cannata and Edmondo Rossoni. <br /><br /></span><span style="font-weight:400;">The motto of the paper, evident on this page, is “Educazione – organizzazione – emancipazione. Conquistando la fabbrica, conquisteremo il mondo [Education – organization – emancipation. Subduing the factory, we will conquer the world]. The “Hour for Action” lead story is by Mario De Ciampis. <br /><br /></span><span style="font-weight:400;">Besides his role as a long-time editor of</span><i><span style="font-weight:400;"> Il Proletario</span></i><span style="font-weight:400;">, De Ciampis was a </span><span style="font-weight:400;">leading historian of the Federazione Socialista Italiana, and a close associate of Carlo Tresca.

<em><strong>Il Proletario </strong></em>[The Worker], <strong>Anno 27</strong><em>. </em><strong>Chicago: Industrial Workers of the World, 1923.<br /></strong>
The full run of issues of <em>Il Proletario </em>from 1923, the companion volume of the 1924 full run in the collection.<br /><br />The front page of the May Day 1923 issue of <em>Il Proletario</em> feautres a striking cover illustration, captioned “The heads of the monstrous snakes finally fall, shattered,” that shows a muscular, bare-breasted woman about to strike, with an axe, a many-headed snake that threatens the children standing behind her, an image that reflects the symbolic importance of May Day among italian radicals in the New World with the rare use of red (or of any color) ink.<br /><p>The “hour for Action” lead story is by Mario De Ciampis. relatively early on, May Day turned into a more joyous celebration as well, with food, drink and dancing, in addition to poetry readings and dramatic performances, such as Pietro Gori’s <em>Primo Maggio </em>(May Day). The verso of this front page contains a poem by Virgilia D’Andrea entitled “Primo Maggio.” <br /><br />De Ciampis was a long-time editor of <em>Il Proletario</em>, leading historian of the Federazione Socialista italiana, and a close associate of Carlo Tresca. Ironically, there was no May Day issue the following year, 1924, see the companion volume, because the newspaper was in the middle of moving its base of operations from Chicago to brooklyn, where it remained.</p>
<p>May Day had its origins as early as 1886, when unions and anarchist groups in Chicago led a series of demonstrations and protests demanding an eight-hour day, resulting in the haymarket massacre on May 4 of that year, in which several demonstrators and policemen were killed by a bomb thrown at the police. Five anarchists were subsequently executed for their participation, though no evidence linked them to the bombing. France declared May 1 as the international holiday of workers of the world in 1890. <br /><br />Traditional May Day celebrations remained alive among immigrants and the working class even after President Grover Cleveland in 1887 supported the Knights of labor’s recommendation that workers’ day be celebrated in September as labor Day. early May Day celebrations included strikes, mass protests and demonstrations, often ending in violence and police confrontations.<br /><br />For a good discussion of the history and significance of May Day among Italian immigrants of the left, see Marcella Bencivenni, <em>Italian Immigrant Radical Culture: the Idealism of the Sovversivi in the United States, 1890-1940</em> (New York: NYU Press, 2011).</p>

<em><strong>Il Messaggero della Salute: rivista mensile d'igiene, di terapia fisio-psichica e di cultura eclettica </strong></em>[<span>The Messenger of Health: a monthly review of hygiene, of physico-psychiatric therapy, and of eclectic culture], <strong>Anno 11, </strong><strong></strong><strong>No. 110.</strong> <strong>Chicago: Italian Labor Publishing Co., Giugno-Luglio [June-July] 1929.<br /></strong></span>
<span>Just when you thought you could put all Italian American newspapers or magazines into "boxes" labelled one of the following, namely, (1) "Bourgeois- <em>Prominente</em> Class," (2) "Anarchist, socialist, et al., and anti-fascist", or (3) "Fascist," - that is, that Italian Americans were either scrambling to "make" America, nose to the grindstone, and don't make any trouble, or political - let's remake the world order and its politics; or let's oppose the anarchists, et al., we find the uncategorizable <em>Il Messaggero della Salute. </em>Forty-four monthly issues of it, no less!<em><br /><br /></em><em>Il Messaggero</em> has no mention in Durante, in the <em>Routledge History of Italian Americans</em> (William Connell, Stanislao Pugliese, ed., 2018), <em>The Italian American Experience: an Encyclopedia</em> (Sal LaGumina et al., 2000), <em>La Storia: Five Centuries of the Italian American Experience</em> (Jerre Mangione, Ben Morreale, ed., 1992) or in any other reference work except a brief and unenlightening entry by Giovanni E. Schiavo in <em>The Italians in Chicago: A Study of Americanization</em> (Reprint: New York, Arno Press, 1975), p. 107. There the magazine's existence and only the name of the publisher, "T. Lucidi," but not its printer, the Italian Labor Publishing Company - a socialist press, is noted, without comment other than to observe that it is one of two Italian magazines in Chicago <em>not </em>written in a "language accessible to the average Italian with grammar school education." Note that Schiavo's book was originally published in 1928 by the Italian-American Publishing Company, which in 1917 published <em>Why Italy Entered into the World War </em>and <em>Soltanto l'eliminazione della neutralità potrà subito e per sempre impedire le guerre, </em>q.v., of Luigi Carnovale, discussed below, and copies of several of whose books in Italian are in the collection, q.v.<br /><br />"Statement of the ownership, management, circulation etc. required by the Act of Congress of August 24, 1912" wihtin an issue of the magazine dated 1924 sheds little light: T. Lucidi is listed as owner, publisher, and editor, but you could figure that out from any issue of the magazine. No one else is listed in the statement, and there are no circulation figures.<br /><br />So what "box" do we fit it into?<br /><br />This monthly magazine that lasted for at least eleven years (1918 or 1919-1929) and possibly longer was the "organ of the Italian Nature Association and of the Eclectic Universal Association." Of course, a "nature association" does sound like a nudist colony, not exactly a conventional (or even conventionally radical) fixture of Italian American life. Indeed, there are articles about sex - not exactly a staple of magazines of the left or the right.<br /><br />Here are some sample articles: the May 1927 issue begins with an essay by founder and director Lucidi himself (see below) entitled "Cerebralism." It begins with a rather odd discussion of the principle by which Omar, in his decree as to the destruction of the library of Alexandria, said books that were consistent with the Koran could be destroyed as "superfluous," and books in it that were in disagreement with the Koran should be destroyed as dangerous and damaging. So, perforce, the writer is neither Catholic nor anti-clerical, unlike the vast majority of all the writers in the collection, and he is at least sympathetic to some aspects of the Muslim faith.<br /><br />Here are some hints beyond looking at some essays in some issues from what we know of Lucidi. He was the publisher of <em>La Parola</em>, later called <em>La Parola Proletaria</em>, according to Durante, and see <em>La Parola del Popolo: rivista bimestrale. <br /><br /></em>Yet leftist (or other conventional) politics is not to be found in a sampling of issues of <em>Il messaggero.</em><br /><br />Perhaps <em>Il Messaggero della Salute</em> - <em>The Messenger of Health</em> - is just what it sounds like: a guide to how to improve one's health and well-being, irrespective of politics of any kind. The articles are by Italians and non-Italians alike, more of the latter. The same issue discussed above has an article by Rudolf Steiner, the Austrian philosopher, social reformer and esotericist, whose essay here discusses, besides Christianity, Yoga (as the wisdom of the East), Rosacrutionism and Gnosticism. Avem's <em>Geoterapia (Geotherapy)</em>, whose subtitle in the ad is "Ritornate alla Natura!" - seemingly a call to join a nudist colony perhaps? - is heavily advertised in most issues, as is Aldo Lavagnini's <em>Eufisia: the art of staying well</em>, promising "health, vigor, beauty and longevity." <br /><br />Yet the fact that this magazine was written entirely in Italian seems oddly out of character with the brave new world it appears to be introducing to its readers. That is, one might have imagined a magazine like this to have been written by and for Italians in <em>English</em>, appealing to the more free-thinking, socially (not necessarily politically) progressive elements of the Italian immigrant community, eager to participate in American experiments of various sorts.<br /><br />A letter by Lucidi to one of the collection's authors, Luigi Carnovale, suggests that Lucidi was having trouble in 1921 - two years after the first issue - making a financial go of the magazine. We're delighted he managed to last for another 9 or so years.<br /><br />I found a copy for sale of one of the other works advertised in an issue of <em>Il Messaggero, </em>a curiously named brochure containing one "lecture", called <em>The Crusaders Academy of Science, Incorporated: Constituted for the promotion and development of the spiritual and mental faculties</em>, directed by the Masters of the Crusaders Order of the World, of the Masonic Society, q.v. <br /><br />Ah, Masons! Finally something familiar, although Masons or Freemasons aren't found in the <em>Routledge History</em> or the <em>Italian American Encyclopedia</em>, but there is an excerpt from Michele Pane in Durante that speaks of a charcacter who is a "Venerable of the Freemasons of the Mazzini Lodge."<br /><br />Inside this typescript or mimeogaphed brochure, undated but perhaps 1932, the seller opined, there is advertised "Transcychology," "the Ancient Mysteries," Occultism (Spiritualism-magnetism and Allied Sciences," and "Projection and Psychic Levitation-Systmes and Practices." The ad seems to be promoting "A Course of Superior Studies" compiled by Gaetano Russo, M.Ps.Sc., Director General of the Crusaders Order of the World. There follows episode No. 36 of the course, namely, "astrology-horoscopes." The cover contain a photograph of the headquarters, at 1857 Anthony Avenue, corner of Mt. Hope Place, in the Bronx. The building was previously the Shuttleworth mansion, built in 1896.<br /><br />One could say that while there is heavy Italian American involvement or investment in the magazine, and the cults that support it, the philosophy is in no particular sense "Italian" or "Italian American." Perhaps even especially for that reason, this magazine shines light on what is to me a hitherto unknown aspect of Italian American culture in Italian in the early decades of the 20th century. <br /><br />The 44 or more issues of this magazine alone should keep a few graduate students busy for a while.</span>

<em><strong>Il Messaggero della Salute: rivista mensile d'igiene, di terapia fisio-psichica e di cultura eclettica </strong></em>[<span>The Messenger of Health: a monthly review of hygiene, of physico-psychiatric therapy, and of eclectic culture], <strong>Anno 11, </strong><strong>No. 108.</strong> <strong>Chicago: Italian Labor Publishing Co., Gennaio-Febbraio [January-February] 1929.</strong></span>
<span>Just when you thought you could put all Italian American newspapers or magazines into "boxes" labelled one of the following, namely, (1) "Bourgeois- <em>Prominente</em> Class," (2) "Anarchist, socialist, et al., and anti-fascist", or (3) "Fascist," - that is, that Italian Americans were either scrambling to "make" America, nose to the grindstone, and don't make any trouble, or political - let's remake the world order and its politics; or let's oppose the anarchists, et al., we find the uncategorizable <em>Il Messaggero della Salute. </em>Forty-four monthly issues of it, no less!<em><br /><br /></em><em>Il Messaggero</em> has no mention in Durante, in the <em>Routledge History of Italian Americans</em> (William Connell, Stanislao Pugliese, ed., 2018), <em>The Italian American Experience: an Encyclopedia</em> (Sal LaGumina et al., 2000), <em>La Storia: Five Centuries of the Italian American Experience</em> (Jerre Mangione, Ben Morreale, ed., 1992) or in any other reference work except a brief and unenlightening entry by Giovanni E. Schiavo in <em>The Italians in Chicago: A Study of Americanization</em> (Reprint: New York, Arno Press, 1975), p. 107. There the magazine's existence and only the name of the publisher, "T. Lucidi," but not its printer, the Italian Labor Publishing Company - a socialist press, is noted, without comment other than to observe that it is one of two Italian magazines in Chicago <em>not </em>written in a "language accessible to the average Italian with grammar school education." Note that Schiavo's book was originally published in 1928 by the Italian-American Publishing Company, which in 1917 published <em>Why Italy Entered into the World War </em>and <em>Soltanto l'eliminazione della neutralità potrà subito e per sempre impedire le guerre, </em>q.v., of Luigi Carnovale, discussed below, and copies of several of whose books in Italian are in the collection, q.v.<br /><br />"Statement of the ownership, management, circulation etc. required by the Act of Congress of August 24, 1912" wihtin an issue of the magazine dated 1924 sheds little light: T. Lucidi is listed as owner, publisher, and editor, but you could figure that out from any issue of the magazine. No one else is listed in the statement, and there are no circulation figures.<br /><br />So what "box" do we fit it into?<br /><br />This monthly magazine that lasted for at least eleven years (1918 or 1919-1929) and possibly longer was the "organ of the Italian Nature Association and of the Eclectic Universal Association." Of course, a "nature association" does sound like a nudist colony, not exactly a conventional (or even conventionally radical) fixture of Italian American life. Indeed, there are articles about sex - not exactly a staple of magazines of the left or the right.<br /><br />Here are some sample articles: the May 1927 issue begins with an essay by founder and director Lucidi himself (see below) entitled "Cerebralism." It begins with a rather odd discussion of the principle by which Omar, in his decree as to the destruction of the library of Alexandria, said books that were consistent with the Koran could be destroyed as "superfluous," and books in it that were in disagreement with the Koran should be destroyed as dangerous and damaging. So, perforce, the writer is neither Catholic nor anti-clerical, unlike the vast majority of all the writers in the collection, and he is at least sympathetic to some aspects of the Muslim faith.<br /><br />Here are some hints beyond looking at some essays in some issues from what we know of Lucidi. He was the publisher of <em>La Parola</em>, later called <em>La Parola Proletaria</em>, according to Durante, and see <em>La Parola del Popolo: rivista bimestrale. <br /><br /></em>Yet leftist (or other conventional) politics is not to be found in a sampling of issues of <em>Il messaggero.</em><br /><br />Perhaps <em>Il Messaggero della Salute</em> - <em>The Messenger of Health</em> - is just what it sounds like: a guide to how to improve one's health and well-being, irrespective of politics of any kind. The articles are by Italians and non-Italians alike, more of the latter. The same issue discussed above has an article by Rudolf Steiner, the Austrian philosopher, social reformer and esotericist, whose essay here discusses, besides Christianity, Yoga (as the wisdom of the East), Rosacrutionism and Gnosticism. Avem's <em>Geoterapia (Geotherapy)</em>, whose subtitle in the ad is "Ritornate alla Natura!" - seemingly a call to join a nudist colony perhaps? - is heavily advertised in most issues, as is Aldo Lavagnini's <em>Eufisia: the art of staying well</em>, promising "health, vigor, beauty and longevity." <br /><br />Yet the fact that this magazine was written entirely in Italian seems oddly out of character with the brave new world it appears to be introducing to its readers. That is, one might have imagined a magazine like this to have been written by and for Italians in <em>English</em>, appealing to the more free-thinking, socially (not necessarily politically) progressive elements of the Italian immigrant community, eager to participate in American experiments of various sorts.<br /><br />A letter by Lucidi to one of the collection's authors, Luigi Carnovale, suggests that Lucidi was having trouble in 1921 - two years after the first issue - making a financial go of the magazine. We're delighted he managed to last for another 9 or so years.<br /><br />I found a copy for sale of one of the other works advertised in an issue of <em>Il Messaggero, </em>a curiously named brochure containing one "lecture", called <em>The Crusaders Academy of Science, Incorporated: Constituted for the promotion and development of the spiritual and mental faculties</em>, directed by the Masters of the Crusaders Order of the World, of the Masonic Society, q.v. <br /><br />Ah, Masons! Finally something familiar, although Masons or Freemasons aren't found in the <em>Routledge History</em> or the <em>Italian American Encyclopedia</em>, but there is an excerpt from Michele Pane in Durante that speaks of a charcacter who is a "Venerable of the Freemasons of the Mazzini Lodge."<br /><br />Inside this typescript or mimeogaphed brochure, undated but perhaps 1932, the seller opined, there is advertised "Transcychology," "the Ancient Mysteries," Occultism (Spiritualism-magnetism and Allied Sciences," and "Projection and Psychic Levitation-Systmes and Practices." The ad seems to be promoting "A Course of Superior Studies" compiled by Gaetano Russo, M.Ps.Sc., Director General of the Crusaders Order of the World. There follows episode No. 36 of the course, namely, "astrology-horoscopes." The cover contain a photograph of the headquarters, at 1857 Anthony Avenue, corner of Mt. Hope Place, in the Bronx. The building was previously the Shuttleworth mansion, built in 1896.<br /><br />One could say that while there is heavy Italian American involvement or investment in the magazine, and the cults that support it, the philosophy is in no particular sense "Italian" or "Italian American." Perhaps even especially for that reason, this magazine shines light on what is to me a hitherto unknown aspect of Italian American culture in Italian in the early decades of the 20th century. <br /><br />The 44 or more issues of this magazine alone should keep a few graduate students busy for a while.</span>

<em><strong>Il Messaggero della Salute: rivista mensile d'igiene, di terapia fisio-psichica e di cultura eclettica </strong></em>[<span>The Messenger of Health: a monthly review of hygiene, of physico-psychiatric therapy, and of eclectic culture], <strong>Anno 9, </strong><strong></strong><strong>No. 96.</strong> <strong>Chicago: Italian Labor Publishing Co., Settembre [September] 1927.</strong></span>
<span><br /><br />Just when you thought you could put all Italian American newspapers or magazines into "boxes" labelled one of the following, namely, (1) "Bourgeois- <em>Prominente</em> Class," (2) "Anarchist, socialist, et al., and anti-fascist", or (3) "Fascist," - that is, that Italian Americans were either scrambling to "make" America, nose to the grindstone, and don't make any trouble, or political - let's remake the world order and its politics; or let's oppose the anarchists, et al., we find the uncategorizable <em>Il Messaggero della Salute. </em>Forty-four monthly issues of it, no less!<em><br /><br /></em><em>Il Messaggero</em> has no mention in Durante, in the <em>Routledge History of Italian Americans</em> (William Connell, Stanislao Pugliese, ed., 2018), <em>The Italian American Experience: an Encyclopedia</em> (Sal LaGumina et al., 2000), <em>La Storia: Five Centuries of the Italian American Experience</em> (Jerre Mangione, Ben Morreale, ed., 1992) or in any other reference work except a brief and unenlightening entry by Giovanni E. Schiavo in <em>The Italians in Chicago: A Study of Americanization</em> (Reprint: New York, Arno Press, 1975), p. 107. There the magazine's existence and only the name of the publisher, "T. Lucidi," but not its printer, the Italian Labor Publishing Company - a socialist press, is noted, without comment other than to observe that it is one of two Italian magazines in Chicago <em>not </em>written in a "language accessible to the average Italian with grammar school education." Note that Schiavo's book was originally published in 1928 by the Italian-American Publishing Company, which in 1917 published <em>Why Italy Entered into the World War </em>and <em>Soltanto l'eliminazione della neutralità potrà subito e per sempre impedire le guerre, </em>q.v., of Luigi Carnovale, discussed below, and copies of several of whose books in Italian are in the collection, q.v.<br /><br />"Statement of the ownership, management, circulation etc. required by the Act of Congress of August 24, 1912" wihtin an issue of the magazine dated 1924 sheds little light: T. Lucidi is listed as owner, publisher, and editor, but you could figure that out from any issue of the magazine. No one else is listed in the statement, and there are no circulation figures.<br /><br />So what "box" do we fit it into?<br /><br />This monthly magazine that lasted for at least eleven years (1918 or 1919-1929) and possibly longer was the "organ of the Italian Nature Association and of the Eclectic Universal Association." Of course, a "nature association" does sound like a nudist colony, not exactly a conventional (or even conventionally radical) fixture of Italian American life. Indeed, there are articles about sex - not exactly a staple of magazines of the left or the right.<br /><br />Here are some sample articles: the May 1927 issue begins with an essay by founder and director Lucidi himself (see below) entitled "Cerebralism." It begins with a rather odd discussion of the principle by which Omar, in his decree as to the destruction of the library of Alexandria, said books that were consistent with the Koran could be destroyed as "superfluous," and books in it that were in disagreement with the Koran should be destroyed as dangerous and damaging. So, perforce, the writer is neither Catholic nor anti-clerical, unlike the vast majority of all the writers in the collection, and he is at least sympathetic to some aspects of the Muslim faith.<br /><br />Here are some hints beyond looking at some essays in some issues from what we know of Lucidi. He was the publisher of <em>La Parola</em>, later called <em>La Parola Proletaria</em>, according to Durante, and see <em>La Parola del Popolo: rivista bimestrale. <br /><br /></em>Yet leftist (or other conventional) politics is not to be found in a sampling of issues of <em>Il messaggero.</em><br /><br />Perhaps <em>Il Messaggero della Salute</em> - <em>The Messenger of Health</em> - is just what it sounds like: a guide to how to improve one's health and well-being, irrespective of politics of any kind. The articles are by Italians and non-Italians alike, more of the latter. The same issue discussed above has an article by Rudolf Steiner, the Austrian philosopher, social reformer and esotericist, whose essay here discusses, besides Christianity, Yoga (as the wisdom of the East), Rosacrutionism and Gnosticism. Avem's <em>Geoterapia (Geotherapy)</em>, whose subtitle in the ad is "Ritornate alla Natura!" - seemingly a call to join a nudist colony perhaps? - is heavily advertised in most issues, as is Aldo Lavagnini's <em>Eufisia: the art of staying well</em>, promising "health, vigor, beauty and longevity." <br /><br />Yet the fact that this magazine was written entirely in Italian seems oddly out of character with the brave new world it appears to be introducing to its readers. That is, one might have imagined a magazine like this to have been written by and for Italians in <em>English</em>, appealing to the more free-thinking, socially (not necessarily politically) progressive elements of the Italian immigrant community, eager to participate in American experiments of various sorts.<br /><br />A letter by Lucidi to one of the collection's authors, Luigi Carnovale, suggests that Lucidi was having trouble in 1921 - two years after the first issue - making a financial go of the magazine. We're delighted he managed to last for another 9 or so years.<br /><br />I found a copy for sale of one of the other works advertised in an issue of <em>Il Messaggero, </em>a curiously named brochure containing one "lecture", called <em>The Crusaders Academy of Science, Incorporated: Constituted for the promotion and development of the spiritual and mental faculties</em>, directed by the Masters of the Crusaders Order of the World, of the Masonic Society, q.v. <br /><br />Ah, Masons! Finally something familiar, although Masons or Freemasons aren't found in the <em>Routledge History</em> or the <em>Italian American Encyclopedia</em>, but there is an excerpt from Michele Pane in Durante that speaks of a charcacter who is a "Venerable of the Freemasons of the Mazzini Lodge."<br /><br />Inside this typescript or mimeogaphed brochure, undated but perhaps 1932, the seller opined, there is advertised "Transcychology," "the Ancient Mysteries," Occultism (Spiritualism-magnetism and Allied Sciences," and "Projection and Psychic Levitation-Systmes and Practices." The ad seems to be promoting "A Course of Superior Studies" compiled by Gaetano Russo, M.Ps.Sc., Director General of the Crusaders Order of the World. There follows episode No. 36 of the course, namely, "astrology-horoscopes." The cover contain a photograph of the headquarters, at 1857 Anthony Avenue, corner of Mt. Hope Place, in the Bronx. The building was previously the Shuttleworth mansion, built in 1896.<br /><br />One could say that while there is heavy Italian American involvement or investment in the magazine, and the cults that support it, the philosophy is in no particular sense "Italian" or "Italian American." Perhaps even especially for that reason, this magazine shines light on what is to me a hitherto unknown aspect of Italian American culture in Italian in the early decades of the 20th century. <br /><br />The 44 or more issues of this magazine alone should keep a few graduate students busy for a while.<br /><br /><br /></span>

<em><strong>Il Messaggero della Salute: rivista mensile d'igiene, di terapia fisio-psichica e di cultura eclettica </strong></em>[<span>The Messenger of Health: a monthly review of hygiene, of physico-psychiatric therapy, and of eclectic culture], <strong>Anno 9, </strong><strong></strong><strong>No. 93.</strong> <strong>Chicago: Italian Labor Publishing Co., Giugno [June] 1927.</strong></span>
<span>Just when you thought you could put all Italian American newspapers or magazines into "boxes" labelled one of the following, namely, (1) "Bourgeois- <em>Prominente</em> Class," (2) "Anarchist, socialist, et al., and anti-fascist", or (3) "Fascist," - that is, that Italian Americans were either scrambling to "make" America, nose to the grindstone, and don't make any trouble, or political - let's remake the world order and its politics; or let's oppose the anarchists, et al., we find the uncategorizable <em>Il Messaggero della Salute. </em>Forty-four monthly issues of it, no less!<em><br /><br /></em><em>Il Messaggero</em> has no mention in Durante, in the <em>Routledge History of Italian Americans</em> (William Connell, Stanislao Pugliese, ed., 2018), <em>The Italian American Experience: an Encyclopedia</em> (Sal LaGumina et al., 2000), <em>La Storia: Five Centuries of the Italian American Experience</em> (Jerre Mangione, Ben Morreale, ed., 1992) or in any other reference work except a brief and unenlightening entry by Giovanni E. Schiavo in <em>The Italians in Chicago: A Study of Americanization</em> (Reprint: New York, Arno Press, 1975), p. 107. There the magazine's existence and only the name of the publisher, "T. Lucidi," but not its printer, the Italian Labor Publishing Company - a socialist press, is noted, without comment other than to observe that it is one of two Italian magazines in Chicago <em>not </em>written in a "language accessible to the average Italian with grammar school education." Note that Schiavo's book was originally published in 1928 by the Italian-American Publishing Company, which in 1917 published <em>Why Italy Entered into the World War </em>and <em>Soltanto l'eliminazione della neutralità potrà subito e per sempre impedire le guerre, </em>q.v., of Luigi Carnovale, discussed below, and copies of several of whose books in Italian are in the collection, q.v.<br /><br />"Statement of the ownership, management, circulation etc. required by the Act of Congress of August 24, 1912" wihtin an issue of the magazine dated 1924 sheds little light: T. Lucidi is listed as owner, publisher, and editor, but you could figure that out from any issue of the magazine. No one else is listed in the statement, and there are no circulation figures.<br /><br />So what "box" do we fit it into?<br /><br />This monthly magazine that lasted for at least eleven years (1918 or 1919-1929) and possibly longer was the "organ of the Italian Nature Association and of the Eclectic Universal Association." Of course, a "nature association" does sound like a nudist colony, not exactly a conventional (or even conventionally radical) fixture of Italian American life. Indeed, there are articles about sex - not exactly a staple of magazines of the left or the right.<br /><br />Here are some sample articles: the May 1927 issue begins with an essay by founder and director Lucidi himself (see below) entitled "Cerebralism." It begins with a rather odd discussion of the principle by which Omar, in his decree as to the destruction of the library of Alexandria, said books that were consistent with the Koran could be destroyed as "superfluous," and books in it that were in disagreement with the Koran should be destroyed as dangerous and damaging. So, perforce, the writer is neither Catholic nor anti-clerical, unlike the vast majority of all the writers in the collection, and he is at least sympathetic to some aspects of the Muslim faith.<br /><br />Here are some hints beyond looking at some essays in some issues from what we know of Lucidi. He was the publisher of <em>La Parola</em>, later called <em>La Parola Proletaria</em>, according to Durante, and see <em>La Parola del Popolo: rivista bimestrale. <br /><br /></em>Yet leftist (or other conventional) politics is not to be found in a sampling of issues of <em>Il messaggero.</em><br /><br />Perhaps <em>Il Messaggero della Salute</em> - <em>The Messenger of Health</em> - is just what it sounds like: a guide to how to improve one's health and well-being, irrespective of politics of any kind. The articles are by Italians and non-Italians alike, more of the latter. The same issue discussed above has an article by Rudolf Steiner, the Austrian philosopher, social reformer and esotericist, whose essay here discusses, besides Christianity, Yoga (as the wisdom of the East), Rosacrutionism and Gnosticism. Avem's <em>Geoterapia (Geotherapy)</em>, whose subtitle in the ad is "Ritornate alla Natura!" - seemingly a call to join a nudist colony perhaps? - is heavily advertised in most issues, as is Aldo Lavagnini's <em>Eufisia: the art of staying well</em>, promising "health, vigor, beauty and longevity." <br /><br />Yet the fact that this magazine was written entirely in Italian seems oddly out of character with the brave new world it appears to be introducing to its readers. That is, one might have imagined a magazine like this to have been written by and for Italians in <em>English</em>, appealing to the more free-thinking, socially (not necessarily politically) progressive elements of the Italian immigrant community, eager to participate in American experiments of various sorts.<br /><br />A letter by Lucidi to one of the collection's authors, Luigi Carnovale, suggests that Lucidi was having trouble in 1921 - two years after the first issue - making a financial go of the magazine. We're delighted he managed to last for another 9 or so years.<br /><br />I found a copy for sale of one of the other works advertised in an issue of <em>Il Messaggero, </em>a curiously named brochure containing one "lecture", called <em>The Crusaders Academy of Science, Incorporated: Constituted for the promotion and development of the spiritual and mental faculties</em>, directed by the Masters of the Crusaders Order of the World, of the Masonic Society, q.v. <br /><br />Ah, Masons! Finally something familiar, although Masons or Freemasons aren't found in the <em>Routledge History</em> or the <em>Italian American Encyclopedia</em>, but there is an excerpt from Michele Pane in Durante that speaks of a charcacter who is a "Venerable of the Freemasons of the Mazzini Lodge."<br /><br />Inside this typescript or mimeogaphed brochure, undated but perhaps 1932, the seller opined, there is advertised "Transcychology," "the Ancient Mysteries," Occultism (Spiritualism-magnetism and Allied Sciences," and "Projection and Psychic Levitation-Systmes and Practices." The ad seems to be promoting "A Course of Superior Studies" compiled by Gaetano Russo, M.Ps.Sc., Director General of the Crusaders Order of the World. There follows episode No. 36 of the course, namely, "astrology-horoscopes." The cover contain a photograph of the headquarters, at 1857 Anthony Avenue, corner of Mt. Hope Place, in the Bronx. The building was previously the Shuttleworth mansion, built in 1896.<br /><br />One could say that while there is heavy Italian American involvement or investment in the magazine, and the cults that support it, the philosophy is in no particular sense "Italian" or "Italian American." Perhaps even especially for that reason, this magazine shines light on what is to me a hitherto unknown aspect of Italian American culture in Italian in the early decades of the 20th century. <br /><br />The 44 or more issues of this magazine alone should keep a few graduate students busy for a while.<br /><br /><br /></span>

<em><strong>Il Messaggero della Salute: rivista mensile d'igiene, di terapia fisio-psichica e di cultura eclettica </strong></em>[<span>The Messenger of Health: a monthly review of hygiene, of physico-psychiatric therapy, and of eclectic culture], <strong>Anno 9, </strong><strong>No. 90.</strong> <strong>Chicago: Italian Labor Publishing Co., Marzo [March] 1927.<br /></strong></span>
<span>Just when you thought you could put all Italian American newspapers or magazines into "boxes" labelled one of the following, namely, (1) "Bourgeois- <em>Prominente</em> Class," (2) "Anarchist, socialist, et al., and anti-fascist", or (3) "Fascist," - that is, that Italian Americans were either scrambling to "make" America, nose to the grindstone, and don't make any trouble, or political - let's remake the world order and its politics; or let's oppose the anarchists, et al., we find the uncategorizable <em>Il Messaggero della Salute. </em>Forty-four monthly issues of it, no less!<em><br /><br /></em><em>Il Messaggero</em> has no mention in Durante, in the <em>Routledge History of Italian Americans</em> (William Connell, Stanislao Pugliese, ed., 2018), <em>The Italian American Experience: an Encyclopedia</em> (Sal LaGumina et al., 2000), <em>La Storia: Five Centuries of the Italian American Experience</em> (Jerre Mangione, Ben Morreale, ed., 1992) or in any other reference work except a brief and unenlightening entry by Giovanni E. Schiavo in <em>The Italians in Chicago: A Study of Americanization</em> (Reprint: New York, Arno Press, 1975), p. 107. There the magazine's existence and only the name of the publisher, "T. Lucidi," but not its printer, the Italian Labor Publishing Company - a socialist press, is noted, without comment other than to observe that it is one of two Italian magazines in Chicago <em>not </em>written in a "language accessible to the average Italian with grammar school education." Note that Schiavo's book was originally published in 1928 by the Italian-American Publishing Company, which in 1917 published <em>Why Italy Entered into the World War </em>and <em>Soltanto l'eliminazione della neutralità potrà subito e per sempre impedire le guerre, </em>q.v., of Luigi Carnovale, discussed below, and copies of several of whose books in Italian are in the collection, q.v.<br /><br />"Statement of the ownership, management, circulation etc. required by the Act of Congress of August 24, 1912" wihtin an issue of the magazine dated 1924 sheds little light: T. Lucidi is listed as owner, publisher, and editor, but you could figure that out from any issue of the magazine. No one else is listed in the statement, and there are no circulation figures.<br /><br />So what "box" do we fit it into?<br /><br />This monthly magazine that lasted for at least eleven years (1918 or 1919-1929) and possibly longer was the "organ of the Italian Nature Association and of the Eclectic Universal Association." Of course, a "nature association" does sound like a nudist colony, not exactly a conventional (or even conventionally radical) fixture of Italian American life. Indeed, there are articles about sex - not exactly a staple of magazines of the left or the right.<br /><br />Here are some sample articles: the May 1927 issue begins with an essay by founder and director Lucidi himself (see below) entitled "Cerebralism." It begins with a rather odd discussion of the principle by which Omar, in his decree as to the destruction of the library of Alexandria, said books that were consistent with the Koran could be destroyed as "superfluous," and books in it that were in disagreement with the Koran should be destroyed as dangerous and damaging. So, perforce, the writer is neither Catholic nor anti-clerical, unlike the vast majority of all the writers in the collection, and he is at least sympathetic to some aspects of the Muslim faith.<br /><br />Here are some hints beyond looking at some essays in some issues from what we know of Lucidi. He was the publisher of <em>La Parola</em>, later called <em>La Parola Proletaria</em>, according to Durante, and see <em>La Parola del Popolo: rivista bimestrale. <br /><br /></em>Yet leftist (or other conventional) politics is not to be found in a sampling of issues of <em>Il messaggero.</em><br /><br />Perhaps <em>Il Messaggero della Salute</em> - <em>The Messenger of Health</em> - is just what it sounds like: a guide to how to improve one's health and well-being, irrespective of politics of any kind. The articles are by Italians and non-Italians alike, more of the latter. The same issue discussed above has an article by Rudolf Steiner, the Austrian philosopher, social reformer and esotericist, whose essay here discusses, besides Christianity, Yoga (as the wisdom of the East), Rosacrutionism and Gnosticism. Avem's <em>Geoterapia (Geotherapy)</em>, whose subtitle in the ad is "Ritornate alla Natura!" - seemingly a call to join a nudist colony perhaps? - is heavily advertised in most issues, as is Aldo Lavagnini's <em>Eufisia: the art of staying well</em>, promising "health, vigor, beauty and longevity." <br /><br />Yet the fact that this magazine was written entirely in Italian seems oddly out of character with the brave new world it appears to be introducing to its readers. That is, one might have imagined a magazine like this to have been written by and for Italians in <em>English</em>, appealing to the more free-thinking, socially (not necessarily politically) progressive elements of the Italian immigrant community, eager to participate in American experiments of various sorts.<br /><br />A letter by Lucidi to one of the collection's authors, Luigi Carnovale, suggests that Lucidi was having trouble in 1921 - two years after the first issue - making a financial go of the magazine. We're delighted he managed to last for another 9 or so years.<br /><br />I found a copy for sale of one of the other works advertised in an issue of <em>Il Messaggero, </em>a curiously named brochure containing one "lecture", called <em>The Crusaders Academy of Science, Incorporated: Constituted for the promotion and development of the spiritual and mental faculties</em>, directed by the Masters of the Crusaders Order of the World, of the Masonic Society, q.v. <br /><br />Ah, Masons! Finally something familiar, although Masons or Freemasons aren't found in the <em>Routledge History</em> or the <em>Italian American Encyclopedia</em>, but there is an excerpt from Michele Pane in Durante that speaks of a charcacter who is a "Venerable of the Freemasons of the Mazzini Lodge."<br /><br />Inside this typescript or mimeogaphed brochure, undated but perhaps 1932, the seller opined, there is advertised "Transcychology," "the Ancient Mysteries," Occultism (Spiritualism-magnetism and Allied Sciences," and "Projection and Psychic Levitation-Systmes and Practices." The ad seems to be promoting "A Course of Superior Studies" compiled by Gaetano Russo, M.Ps.Sc., Director General of the Crusaders Order of the World. There follows episode No. 36 of the course, namely, "astrology-horoscopes." The cover contain a photograph of the headquarters, at 1857 Anthony Avenue, corner of Mt. Hope Place, in the Bronx. The building was previously the Shuttleworth mansion, built in 1896.<br /><br />One could say that while there is heavy Italian American involvement or investment in the magazine, and the cults that support it, the philosophy is in no particular sense "Italian" or "Italian American." Perhaps even especially for that reason, this magazine shines light on what is to me a hitherto unknown aspect of Italian American culture in Italian in the early decades of the 20th century. <br /><br />The 44 or more issues of this magazine alone should keep a few graduate students busy for a while.<br /><br /><br /></span>

<em><strong>Il Messaggero della Salute: rivista mensile d'igiene, di terapia fisio-psichica e di cultura eclettica </strong></em>[<span>The Messenger of Health: a monthly review of hygiene, of physico-psychiatric therapy, and of eclectic culture], <strong>Anno 8, </strong><strong>No. 85.</strong> <strong>Chicago: Italian Labor Publishing Co., Settembre [September] 1926.<br /></strong></span>
<span><strong><br /></strong>Just when you thought you could put all Italian American newspapers or magazines into "boxes" labelled one of the following, namely, (1) "Bourgeois- <em>Prominente</em> Class," (2) "Anarchist, socialist, et al., and anti-fascist", or (3) "Fascist," - that is, that Italian Americans were either scrambling to "make" America, nose to the grindstone, and don't make any trouble, or political - let's remake the world order and its politics; or let's oppose the anarchists, et al., we find the uncategorizable <em>Il Messaggero della Salute. </em>Forty-four monthly issues of it, no less!<em><br /><br /></em><em>Il Messaggero</em> has no mention in Durante, in the <em>Routledge History of Italian Americans</em> (William Connell, Stanislao Pugliese, ed., 2018), <em>The Italian American Experience: an Encyclopedia</em> (Sal LaGumina et al., 2000), <em>La Storia: Five Centuries of the Italian American Experience</em> (Jerre Mangione, Ben Morreale, ed., 1992) or in any other reference work except a brief and unenlightening entry by Giovanni E. Schiavo in <em>The Italians in Chicago: A Study of Americanization</em> (Reprint: New York, Arno Press, 1975), p. 107. There the magazine's existence and only the name of the publisher, "T. Lucidi," but not its printer, the Italian Labor Publishing Company - a socialist press, is noted, without comment other than to observe that it is one of two Italian magazines in Chicago <em>not </em>written in a "language accessible to the average Italian with grammar school education." Note that Schiavo's book was originally published in 1928 by the Italian-American Publishing Company, which in 1917 published <em>Why Italy Entered into the World War </em>and <em>Soltanto l'eliminazione della neutralità potrà subito e per sempre impedire le guerre, </em>q.v., of Luigi Carnovale, discussed below, and copies of several of whose books in Italian are in the collection, q.v.<br /><br />"Statement of the ownership, management, circulation etc. required by the Act of Congress of August 24, 1912" wihtin an issue of the magazine dated 1924 sheds little light: T. Lucidi is listed as owner, publisher, and editor, but you could figure that out from any issue of the magazine. No one else is listed in the statement, and there are no circulation figures.<br /><br />So what "box" do we fit it into?<br /><br />This monthly magazine that lasted for at least eleven years (1918 or 1919-1929) and possibly longer was the "organ of the Italian Nature Association and of the Eclectic Universal Association." Of course, a "nature association" does sound like a nudist colony, not exactly a conventional (or even conventionally radical) fixture of Italian American life. Indeed, there are articles about sex - not exactly a staple of magazines of the left or the right.<br /><br />Here are some sample articles: the May 1927 issue begins with an essay by founder and director Lucidi himself (see below) entitled "Cerebralism." It begins with a rather odd discussion of the principle by which Omar, in his decree as to the destruction of the library of Alexandria, said books that were consistent with the Koran could be destroyed as "superfluous," and books in it that were in disagreement with the Koran should be destroyed as dangerous and damaging. So, perforce, the writer is neither Catholic nor anti-clerical, unlike the vast majority of all the writers in the collection, and he is at least sympathetic to some aspects of the Muslim faith.<br /><br />Here are some hints beyond looking at some essays in some issues from what we know of Lucidi. He was the publisher of <em>La Parola</em>, later called <em>La Parola Proletaria</em>, according to Durante, and see <em>La Parola del Popolo: rivista bimestrale. <br /><br /></em>Yet leftist (or other conventional) politics is not to be found in a sampling of issues of <em>Il messaggero.</em><br /><br />Perhaps <em>Il Messaggero della Salute</em> - <em>The Messenger of Health</em> - is just what it sounds like: a guide to how to improve one's health and well-being, irrespective of politics of any kind. The articles are by Italians and non-Italians alike, more of the latter. The same issue discussed above has an article by Rudolf Steiner, the Austrian philosopher, social reformer and esotericist, whose essay here discusses, besides Christianity, Yoga (as the wisdom of the East), Rosacrutionism and Gnosticism. Avem's <em>Geoterapia (Geotherapy)</em>, whose subtitle in the ad is "Ritornate alla Natura!" - seemingly a call to join a nudist colony perhaps? - is heavily advertised in most issues, as is Aldo Lavagnini's <em>Eufisia: the art of staying well</em>, promising "health, vigor, beauty and longevity." <br /><br />Yet the fact that this magazine was written entirely in Italian seems oddly out of character with the brave new world it appears to be introducing to its readers. That is, one might have imagined a magazine like this to have been written by and for Italians in <em>English</em>, appealing to the more free-thinking, socially (not necessarily politically) progressive elements of the Italian immigrant community, eager to participate in American experiments of various sorts.<br /><br />A letter by Lucidi to one of the collection's authors, Luigi Carnovale, suggests that Lucidi was having trouble in 1921 - two years after the first issue - making a financial go of the magazine. We're delighted he managed to last for another 9 or so years.<br /><br />I found a copy for sale of one of the other works advertised in an issue of <em>Il Messaggero, </em>a curiously named brochure containing one "lecture", called <em>The Crusaders Academy of Science, Incorporated: Constituted for the promotion and development of the spiritual and mental faculties</em>, directed by the Masters of the Crusaders Order of the World, of the Masonic Society, q.v. <br /><br />Ah, Masons! Finally something familiar, although Masons or Freemasons aren't found in the <em>Routledge History</em> or the <em>Italian American Encyclopedia</em>, but there is an excerpt from Michele Pane in Durante that speaks of a charcacter who is a "Venerable of the Freemasons of the Mazzini Lodge."<br /><br />Inside this typescript or mimeogaphed brochure, undated but perhaps 1932, the seller opined, there is advertised "Transcychology," "the Ancient Mysteries," Occultism (Spiritualism-magnetism and Allied Sciences," and "Projection and Psychic Levitation-Systmes and Practices." The ad seems to be promoting "A Course of Superior Studies" compiled by Gaetano Russo, M.Ps.Sc., Director General of the Crusaders Order of the World. There follows episode No. 36 of the course, namely, "astrology-horoscopes." The cover contain a photograph of the headquarters, at 1857 Anthony Avenue, corner of Mt. Hope Place, in the Bronx. The building was previously the Shuttleworth mansion, built in 1896.<br /><br />One could say that while there is heavy Italian American involvement or investment in the magazine, and the cults that support it, the philosophy is in no particular sense "Italian" or "Italian American." Perhaps even especially for that reason, this magazine shines light on what is to me a hitherto unknown aspect of Italian American culture in Italian in the early decades of the 20th century. <br /><br />The 44 or more issues of this magazine alone should keep a few graduate students busy for a while.<br /><br /><br /></span>
