Title A name given to the resource Histories, philosophy, biographies, directories, bibliographies, almanacs, catalogues, annuals, religious, educational, and travel literature Subject The topic of the resource These largely non-political works reflect a broad pallette of non-fiction reflections on the history of Italians in the U.S., travel literature, biographies (like that of the Peanut King, Obici), or the religious, like Sister, later Mother, and final Saint Cabrini. Description An account of the resource In these non-fiction works, Italians reflected upon themselves and their American experiences. Representing the non-sovversivi type of immigrant, who were more interested in becoming American and “making it” in America than in stoking class warfare and remaking society, They began to place themselves in the context of contemporary American society and the history in America. The release in 1921 of Alfredo Bosi’s Cinquant’anni di vita italiana in America, the first history of Italians in the United States, represented a watershed - the first 50 years of Italians in America - and allegedly arose from a conversation between journalist Bosi and King Vittorio Emanuele of Italy in 1901, in which the king expressed curiosity about the Italian colony in America. Luigi Roversi’s biography of Palma di Cesnola proudly places that Italian within the august homes of white Anglo-Saxon Protestant America, into which di Cesnola had married, and where he ruled as the first director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. More than the first half of Flamma’s “biography” of the greatest mayor New York City had ever seen, Fiorello LaGuardia, has little to do with La Guardia, unfortunately, but the work did reflect his obvious pride that after electing mayors in 29 other cities, Italians “finally” elected (in 1933) a mayor of Italian heritage to the country’s most important city. The directories discussed here, from New York to San Francisco, provide a particularly rich source of information about the different businesses and professions Italians had in virtually every state of the union, from as early as the 1880s (in San Francisco) to the first few decades of the 20th Century (primarily in New York).

Title A name given to the resource Libreria Sociale de "La Parola [del Popolo]" [Social Bookstore of "La Parola" [newspaper]]. Chicago: Italian Labor Publishing Co., [n.d.]. Description An account of the resource This twice-folded single sheet 8-page catalogue of books contains works sold by the Libreria Sociale attached to the newspaper La Parola del Popolo. Like the Italian Labor Publishing Company that published and printed it, La Parola was located at 1011 Blue Island Avenue in Chicago. Durante contains an extensive discussion of La Parola, and it is listed in the Italian American Periodicals Guide of the Library of Congress. I do not find this catalogue, however, in OCLC. It is undated but post-dates 1922, when the ever-changing named La Parola assumed the name of "La Parola del Popolo." See in the Collection: La parola del popolo: rivista bimestrale: Cinquantesimo (50) Anniversario 1908-1958, published in Chicago in 1958 by what had become "La Parola del Popolo Publishing Association." The Social Bookstore probably served a similar purpose as the Libreria Sociologica of Paterson, New Jersey, a gathering place for intellectuals, especially anarchists, to choose from among a vast array of publications, by literary as well as radical Italians and non-Italians. A university education could be add by reading what was for sale there. So, in the case of the instant catalogue, among the authors whose works were for sale were many literary Italians, such as Carducci, Rapisardi, Ariosto and of course Dante, but also French and Russian writers like Emile Zola and Leo Tolstoy, as well as radical Italians writing and working in the U.S. such as Giuseppe Bertelli, Pietro Gori, Vincenzo Vacirca, Luigi Fabbri, Alberico Molinari and others. There were many radical or philosophical non-Italian writers- French, German and Russian - whose works were available in translation, such as Engels, as well as Marx & Engels, Gorki, Faure, Lenin and Kant, among others. anarchist bookseller catalogue Chicago publisher socialist https://d1y502jg6fpugt.cloudfront.net/58817/archive/files/ec0b4f886533d4ba0a7f323e840bac0d.jpg?Expires=1779926400&Signature=UI36paJ5iZnlxO6SMaL3IjHfMKioqBKz9SA40BbnEr3PAMF3MNFi1RzV6ld3FJY%7EFIl0loghvxnowVfz638VmZFWg7OMCBTYqjrwAjeeVcPutKelVyvXdIJFKxTX8RavwmGBLj7Hc6D02BtnyiNomhyYCGyAQL2th3X-uzoAnmku3gW1GUPG-zrx-Fyq7NgbE7R5VmLjOfQNdBJlLkc9aw%7EUeJqT-FAkV-qeQ3rdBmpHX%7ENIZgnZATOrbJbbZ0%7ExQ2vO8LhQorXOGKcvfVwp1INmFg9Rm8p2QIMkGghVaUKA68k-h1i3J9LN8UxvwbrAbwmpBOv9N-2rVaLkKFTGTA__&Key-Pair-Id=K6UGZS9ZTDSZM 334ccba1d59250bbc2e3e2f4a52f8904 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Description An account of the resource The full run of issues of Il Proletario from 1924, companion volume to the full run of 1923 issues also in the collection. 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. 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. Besides his role as a long-time editor of Il Proletario, De Ciampis was a leading historian of the Federazione Socialista Italiana, and a close associate of Carlo Tresca. Ironically, unlike 1923, q.v., there was no May Day issue in 1924, because the newspaper was in the middle of moving its base of operations from Chicago to Brooklyn, where it remained. See Durante, Italoamericana, for a good discussion of the trajectory of this important newspaper, going back to its early years early in the 20th century.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Title A name given to the resource Il Proletario [The Worker], Anno 27. Chicago: Industrial Workers of the World, 1923. Description An account of the resource The full run of issues of Il Proletario from 1923, the companion volume of the 1924 full run in the collection. The front page of the May Day 1923 issue of Il Proletario 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. 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 Primo Maggio (May Day). The verso of this front page contains a poem by Virgilia D’Andrea entitled “Primo Maggio.” De Ciampis was a long-time editor of Il Proletario, 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. 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. 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. For a good discussion of the history and significance of May Day among Italian immigrants of the left, see Marcella Bencivenni, Italian Immigrant Radical Culture: the Idealism of the Sovversivi in the United States, 1890-1940 (New York: NYU Press, 2011).

Description An account of the resource Although not apparent at first blush, Il Messaggero della Salute, published by the same Italian Labor Publishing Company of Chicago that published La Parola del Popolo, see discussion below, arose from socialist and anarchist cultural impulses that reflect the anti-clerical sources of wisdom for living among Italian Americans of the left. Surprisingly, Il Messaggero has no mention in the standard reference works: in Durante, in the Routledge History of Italian Americans (William Connell, Stanislao Pugliese, ed., 2018), The Italian American Experience: an Encyclopedia (Sal LaGumina et al., 2000), La Storia: Five Centuries of the Italian American Experience (Jerre Mangione, Ben Morreale, ed., 1992) or in any other reference work, even the excellent discussion of the non-political culture of the Italian American left in Marcella Bencivenni's Italian Immigrant Radical Culture, in which time period (1890-1940) this magazine squarely fits. However, there is a brief and curious entry by Giovanni E. Schiavo in The Italians in Chicago: A Study of Americanization (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 not 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 Why Italy Entered into the World War and Soltanto l'eliminazione della neutralità potrà subito e per sempre impedire le guerre, q.v., of Luigi Carnovale, discussed below, and copies of several of whose books in Italian are in the collection, q.v. "Statement of the ownership, management, circulation etc. required by the Act of Congress of August 24, 1912" within 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. This monthly magazine that lasted for at least eleven years (1918 or 1919 to 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. 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. Here are some hints beyond looking at some essays in some issues from what we know of Lucidi. He was the publisher of La Parola, later called La Parola Proletaria, according to Durante, and see La Parola del Popolo: rivista bimestrale. Yet leftist (or other conventional) politics is not to be found in a sampling of issues of Il messaggero. This is consistent with much of the teaching materials developed by the Italian American left, which often dealt with purely cultural (i.e., non-political) issues as part of its substitution for the broad role of the Church in the lives of less politically oriented Italian Americans. Perhaps Il Messaggero della Salute - The Messenger of Health - 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 Geoterapia (Geotherapy), 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 Eufisia: the art of staying well, promising "health, vigor, beauty and longevity." 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 English, 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. 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. I found a copy for sale of one of the other works advertised in an issue of Il Messaggero, a curiously named brochure containing one "lecture", called The Crusaders Academy of Science, Incorporated: Constituted for the promotion and development of the spiritual and mental faculties, directed by the Masters of the Crusaders Order of the World, of the Masonic Society, q.v. Ah, Masons! Finally something familiar, although Masons or Freemasons, like Il Messaggero, aren't found in the Routledge History or the Italian American Encyclopedia, 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." Inside this typescript or mimeogaphed brochure, undated but perhaps 1932 (or so 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. 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. The 44 or more issues of this magazine alone should keep a few graduate students busy for a while. 1921-1930 Chicago health Italian Labor Publishing Co. magazine self-help https://d1y502jg6fpugt.cloudfront.net/58817/archive/files/660f664686a56c5e9c0ff06056809576.jpg?Expires=1779926400&Signature=vB09pQqOchEI05lFolPOjnozbK7G%7EieDppMRRS6XxmYUUMCZvqGmOvCGu5xyvYs1T3vkmDt4BWKoOFyNdQ6yBkO525Qt28iKYIl73bOPE1T2S6BiReGfAeg1eBD8fuYDVA%7ES3gJV5EeBeQV5Oy6cNs00sjgO0H-sJw2EC4X6ku0A03-4zVgQwxRiLpcVhaMrAY8qD-6PC0%7EjjB09liOX3W8U4VjwhatPRbWLHJF0AZgsqaIbMPmx%7E8XEzyXTkcPsDXS6WrhVT2943V2N8eGxicSCZhhx-DqAjg67Bf2Zj08baVbJlpUcLOHmvXbJ5%7EjEhuXqvV0of367wwlXLoeUJw__&Key-Pair-Id=K6UGZS9ZTDSZM 3bc313b225263d5afb9e8488ee04db97 https://d1y502jg6fpugt.cloudfront.net/58817/archive/files/589685d9d593e3f8ad71434de8f0029f.jpg?Expires=1779926400&Signature=uvd40tpv5pyQ3FcT%7EIn-HbmIeHfIJ5u1Si5fn51g6GroQ5LQbFAY46F8fDgkm-alQ-nB%7EO9%7EMOdwmLQ-X-SldBCwIt3DPPKKKon31KEQQJvooejpmA1prqDbnhfJImmtgbUHiEV0DQZTcrhuQ5lo87oMLtE%7ELR3V4pBiPNJ05wmBSaAcm7pNJzR2mxV8OOv1DlFJslIn878os0RL2-mmdQTMl-K5QqWo2-oktCSPQnPpT0bKt8PeiqeMUu5jcQXJf1o8zPT7cxEbbNwDEb1XewUoUMesHmRYw70SMIQ04KA-ejBXf30IBYgjVvDHTe0JMor7cYs%7Ehh0cExRqGpVENA__&Key-Pair-Id=K6UGZS9ZTDSZM 9c04c2df5aa9d565e04ad6dab5ecf509 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Description An account of the resource Although not apparent at first blush, Il Messaggero della Salute, published by the same Italian Labor Publishing Company of Chicago that published La Parola del Popolo, see discussion below, arose from socialist and anarchist cultural impulses that reflect the anti-clerical sources of wisdom for living among Italian Americans of the left. Surprisingly, Il Messaggero has no mention in the standard reference works: in Durante, in the Routledge History of Italian Americans (William Connell, Stanislao Pugliese, ed., 2018), The Italian American Experience: an Encyclopedia (Sal LaGumina et al., 2000), La Storia: Five Centuries of the Italian American Experience (Jerre Mangione, Ben Morreale, ed., 1992) or in any other reference work, even the excellent discussion of the non-political culture of the Italian American left in Marcella Bencivenni's Italian Immigrant Radical Culture, in which time period (1890-1940) this magazine squarely fits. However, there is a brief and curious entry by Giovanni E. Schiavo in The Italians in Chicago: A Study of Americanization (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 not 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 Why Italy Entered into the World War and Soltanto l'eliminazione della neutralità potrà subito e per sempre impedire le guerre, q.v., of Luigi Carnovale, discussed below, and copies of several of whose books in Italian are in the collection, q.v. "Statement of the ownership, management, circulation etc. required by the Act of Congress of August 24, 1912" within 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. This monthly magazine that lasted for at least eleven years (1918 or 1919 to 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. 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. Here are some hints beyond looking at some essays in some issues from what we know of Lucidi. He was the publisher of La Parola, later called La Parola Proletaria, according to Durante, and see La Parola del Popolo: rivista bimestrale. Yet leftist (or other conventional) politics is not to be found in a sampling of issues of Il messaggero. This is consistent with much of the teaching materials developed by the Italian American left, which often dealt with purely cultural (i.e., non-political) issues as part of its substitution for the broad role of the Church in the lives of less politically oriented Italian Americans. Perhaps Il Messaggero della Salute - The Messenger of Health - 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 Geoterapia (Geotherapy), 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 Eufisia: the art of staying well, promising "health, vigor, beauty and longevity." 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 English, 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. 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. I found a copy for sale of one of the other works advertised in an issue of Il Messaggero, a curiously named brochure containing one "lecture", called The Crusaders Academy of Science, Incorporated: Constituted for the promotion and development of the spiritual and mental faculties, directed by the Masters of the Crusaders Order of the World, of the Masonic Society, q.v. Ah, Masons! Finally something familiar, although Masons or Freemasons, like Il Messaggero, aren't found in the Routledge History or the Italian American Encyclopedia, 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." Inside this typescript or mimeogaphed brochure, undated but perhaps 1932 (or so 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. 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. The 44 or more issues of this magazine alone should keep a few graduate students busy for a while. 1921-1930 Chicago health Italian Labor Publishing Co. magazine self-help https://d1y502jg6fpugt.cloudfront.net/58817/archive/files/033b56dbef21f02715fcdda9bd464ccc.jpg?Expires=1779926400&Signature=B0Clpp8JMT5mqV5tFwr6TVLzRHKGG3Q3hnSNBbIi60yH-hw9oxy8oywP1y5dkqkzuvjSThXjxTJg32l1OMYf6tTSVWLQ8tEoNTzKl%7ES5KAjQazqLq0Zqvqf4TpH-GxcpUbeGG6hH1ad5i35NtvJJd1GDaTomfxL-uGG3zm3BVSn6uhNjxryAQNUORMQE0BZPzF9U081kKt1qqAreGqFeWiSzAWQJ-hkaFlv5nCR3kt3vGQk8EQy0P9FCJ%7Eyp-COMKR-sxBIaf%7E5iLuig5CE5-%7E3gk28tRFRx-6LYRUeOcqI-i6Z71YCI4V3Aiy8aKiLsx22UW1YwYtrovx3tUh2yDg__&Key-Pair-Id=K6UGZS9ZTDSZM 29f8b4a90f8abf7f817c299b942ad156 https://d1y502jg6fpugt.cloudfront.net/58817/archive/files/779fd94e3fd5dd8a38a829a28c38acbd.jpg?Expires=1779926400&Signature=nkuhwR1vBX0xkjVp-ZnGkaMSMw4bafeH4upsj2PNLus90Kf%7ESFrm9Z54VC7rSF0uuxTjppO%7EmN%7EAbt0ANgL6XDlzVeY3voWc2253VKwvFq%7EZk3r8xGSkef6SodQwAyistTJdEc5BtHVGOCRN4e6dL5U95nBHIsvPFUEnsgqT7IW3YJ5DJKTIdx3HPDwbqxgWr8V6zehBYaLymHj93kIvAYUzBsgXMDoEmgfayk90X-oGyfqG2oul2OOweYA7xx2SkfJC1-5%7E0gdTvzN7INmC2HWfFtvu8ICIpOa11hL7QH6Sr3fdJ7s6pO%7EEmti%7E4bgto887lPrbYL4Auq52J2Nc%7EA__&Key-Pair-Id=K6UGZS9ZTDSZM d437b46587bcd8c459debf7360ee4ddb Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Description An account of the resource Although not apparent at first blush, Il Messaggero della Salute, published by the same Italian Labor Publishing Company of Chicago that published La Parola del Popolo, see discussion below, arose from socialist and anarchist cultural impulses that reflect the anti-clerical sources of wisdom for living among Italian Americans of the left. Surprisingly, Il Messaggero has no mention in the standard reference works: in Durante, in the Routledge History of Italian Americans (William Connell, Stanislao Pugliese, ed., 2018), The Italian American Experience: an Encyclopedia (Sal LaGumina et al., 2000), La Storia: Five Centuries of the Italian American Experience (Jerre Mangione, Ben Morreale, ed., 1992) or in any other reference work, even the excellent discussion of the non-political culture of the Italian American left in Marcella Bencivenni's Italian Immigrant Radical Culture, in which time period (1890-1940) this magazine squarely fits. However, there is a brief and curious entry by Giovanni E. Schiavo in The Italians in Chicago: A Study of Americanization (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 not 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 Why Italy Entered into the World War and Soltanto l'eliminazione della neutralità potrà subito e per sempre impedire le guerre, q.v., of Luigi Carnovale, discussed below, and copies of several of whose books in Italian are in the collection, q.v. "Statement of the ownership, management, circulation etc. required by the Act of Congress of August 24, 1912" within 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. This monthly magazine that lasted for at least eleven years (1918 or 1919 to 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. 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. Here are some hints beyond looking at some essays in some issues from what we know of Lucidi. He was the publisher of La Parola, later called La Parola Proletaria, according to Durante, and see La Parola del Popolo: rivista bimestrale. Yet leftist (or other conventional) politics is not to be found in a sampling of issues of Il messaggero. This is consistent with much of the teaching materials developed by the Italian American left, which often dealt with purely cultural (i.e., non-political) issues as part of its substitution for the broad role of the Church in the lives of less politically oriented Italian Americans. Perhaps Il Messaggero della Salute - The Messenger of Health - 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 Geoterapia (Geotherapy), 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 Eufisia: the art of staying well, promising "health, vigor, beauty and longevity." 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 English, 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. 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. I found a copy for sale of one of the other works advertised in an issue of Il Messaggero, a curiously named brochure containing one "lecture", called The Crusaders Academy of Science, Incorporated: Constituted for the promotion and development of the spiritual and mental faculties, directed by the Masters of the Crusaders Order of the World, of the Masonic Society, q.v. Ah, Masons! Finally something familiar, although Masons or Freemasons, like Il Messaggero, aren't found in the Routledge History or the Italian American Encyclopedia, 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." Inside this typescript or mimeogaphed brochure, undated but perhaps 1932 (or so 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. 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. The 44 or more issues of this magazine alone should keep a few graduate students busy for a while. However, there is a brief and curious entry by Giovanni E.

Surprisingly, Il Messaggero has no mention in the standard reference works: in Durante, in the Routledge History of Italian Americans (William Connell, Stanislao Pugliese, ed., 2018), The Italian American Experience: an Encyclopedia (Sal LaGumina et al., 2000), La Storia: Five Centuries of the Italian American Experience (Jerre Mangione, Ben Morreale, ed., 1992) or in any other reference work, even the excellent discussion of the non-political culture of the Italian American left in Marcella Bencivenni's Italian Immigrant Radical Culture, in which time period (1890-1940) this magazine squarely fits. However, there is a brief and curious entry by Giovanni E. Schiavo in The Italians in Chicago: A Study of Americanization (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 not 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 Why Italy Entered into the World War and Soltanto l'eliminazione della neutralità potrà subito e per sempre impedire le guerre, q.v., of Luigi Carnovale, discussed below, and copies of several of whose books in Italian are in the collection, q.v. "Statement of the ownership, management, circulation etc. required by the Act of Congress of August 24, 1912" within 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. This monthly magazine that lasted for at least eleven years (1918 or 1919 to 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. 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. Here are some hints beyond looking at some essays in some issues from what we know of Lucidi. He was the publisher of La Parola, later called La Parola Proletaria, according to Durante, and see La Parola del Popolo: rivista bimestrale. Yet leftist (or other conventional) politics is not to be found in a sampling of issues of Il messaggero. This is consistent with much of the teaching materials developed by the Italian American left, which often dealt with purely cultural (i.e., non-political) issues as part of its substitution for the broad role of the Church in the lives of less politically oriented Italian Americans. Perhaps Il Messaggero della Salute - The Messenger of Health - 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 Geoterapia (Geotherapy), 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 Eufisia: the art of staying well, promising "health, vigor, beauty and longevity." 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 English, 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. 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. I found a copy for sale of one of the other works advertised in an issue of Il Messaggero, a curiously named brochure containing one "lecture", called The Crusaders Academy of Science, Incorporated: Constituted for the promotion and development of the spiritual and mental faculties, directed by the Masters of the Crusaders Order of the World, of the Masonic Society, q.v. Ah, Masons! Finally something familiar, although Masons or Freemasons, like Il Messaggero, aren't found in the Routledge History or the Italian American Encyclopedia, 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." Inside this typescript or mimeogaphed brochure, undated but perhaps 1932 (or so 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. 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. The 44 or more issues of this magazine alone should keep a few graduate students busy for a while. 1921-1930 Chicago health Italian Labor Publishing Co. magazine self-help https://d1y502jg6fpugt.cloudfront.net/58817/archive/files/b8e2b85707963c9e0b8b01979df47832.jpg?Expires=1779926400&Signature=C1vcsRMua6-2KgCA7Rwu4wYTLORKHx-MqgP%7EDrAZbyDCWodSz4XQAJk6vDV50w4FBgamUV3xJATWYYMrp2PIQASJ2F5gs-RJ3JD3tM2vzrZPYc1MUI6JrhEcqGzHl97XYR3O1G3QDySYPzsZdmi1vp%7Ex7aBk6ddTJoxfBW8m6b0hLeGk9gGlKWQG8lEuZOgkEQUhIHE3UIvVpigVoP%7ERLIDWn6P8pkRfrPrz9KlS8DM%7EM3jgNHc-HFNQILTgk73FhlKd2u4qQ%7EA41Lfqt9MVZMP%7E%7EwctKrKJnSkA97RQG3YyqWxkmQHwfegcW-ct4%7ExmZyiHpfdvfb3jJVBpvcaofA__&Key-Pair-Id=K6UGZS9ZTDSZM 6c0f90d7b0c9fa34663eaf98f3ad245f https://d1y502jg6fpugt.cloudfront.net/58817/archive/files/49250d7de13569307d01e16c97828d11.jpg?Expires=1779926400&Signature=Z-q32kFczY%7EeSPypLux6rNSJlCc7QcM8T64XoHDVec-O4WQ4dN43wsQjL7N%7EV52qDxMyygfHsq1FgrLPESZ0hj3Pk1B9QJ6Q0g0xIaceEtx1dBSP9e3rI5BSt-rm0DacI2GA89DP9JmveyL%7EdM0qn5cXoKyJnIYFBvRNkX5T0lYApQy79FetmX5byVF95w1Zfywxf-dURK5SwoO-fXdcyw-l8F3OwYfe9S1j7cBD%7Edu3fV2FBdKxtXXmVcihkG-uyl9-GxJyvOU6G1S2EA7c3GJxGvny6fnIh5SzFTa8wsFTJ9Zo-4Urp-RZ78sPsbfv6U41EURT4fyAVRklstNz2g__&Key-Pair-Id=K6UGZS9ZTDSZM c603ca9d0d5202e72cbd2811002f8d35 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Description An account of the resource Although not apparent at first blush, Il Messaggero della Salute, published by the same Italian Labor Publishing Company of Chicago that published La Parola del Popolo, see discussion below, arose from socialist and anarchist cultural impulses that reflect the anti-clerical sources of wisdom for living among Italian Americans of the left. Surprisingly, Il Messaggero has no mention in the standard reference works: in Durante, in the Routledge History of Italian Americans (William Connell, Stanislao Pugliese, ed., 2018), The Italian American Experience: an Encyclopedia (Sal LaGumina et al., 2000), La Storia: Five Centuries of the Italian American Experience (Jerre Mangione, Ben Morreale, ed., 1992) or in any other reference work, even the excellent discussion of the non-political culture of the Italian American left in Marcella Bencivenni's Italian Immigrant Radical Culture, in which time period (1890-1940) this magazine squarely fits. However, there is a brief and curious entry by Giovanni E. Schiavo in The Italians in Chicago: A Study of Americanization (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 not 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 Why Italy Entered into the World War and Soltanto l'eliminazione della neutralità potrà subito e per sempre impedire le guerre, q.v., of Luigi Carnovale, discussed below, and copies of several of whose books in Italian are in the collection, q.v. "Statement of the ownership, management, circulation etc. required by the Act of Congress of August 24, 1912" within 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. This monthly magazine that lasted for at least eleven years (1918 or 1919 to 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. 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. Here are some hints beyond looking at some essays in some issues from what we know of Lucidi. He was the publisher of La Parola, later called La Parola Proletaria, according to Durante, and see La Parola del Popolo: rivista bimestrale. Yet leftist (or other conventional) politics is not to be found in a sampling of issues of Il messaggero. This is consistent with much of the teaching materials developed by the Italian American left, which often dealt with purely cultural (i.e., non-political) issues as part of its substitution for the broad role of the Church in the lives of less politically oriented Italian Americans. Perhaps Il Messaggero della Salute - The Messenger of Health - 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 Geoterapia (Geotherapy), 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 Eufisia: the art of staying well, promising "health, vigor, beauty and longevity." 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 English, 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. 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. I found a copy for sale of one of the other works advertised in an issue of Il Messaggero, a curiously named brochure containing one "lecture", called The Crusaders Academy of Science, Incorporated: Constituted for the promotion and development of the spiritual and mental faculties, directed by the Masters of the Crusaders Order of the World, of the Masonic Society, q.v. Ah, Masons! Finally something familiar, although Masons or Freemasons, like Il Messaggero, aren't found in the Routledge History or the Italian American Encyclopedia, 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." Inside this typescript or mimeogaphed brochure, undated but perhaps 1932 (or so 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. 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. The 44 or more issues of this magazine alone should keep a few graduate students busy for a while. 1921-1930 Chicago health Italian Labor Publishing Co. magazine self-help https://d1y502jg6fpugt.cloudfront.net/58817/archive/files/77a55b8d607f43e73881377435bfe128.jpg?Expires=1779926400&Signature=TQ21cFSqJcg2ZhrGHAjAIVClG5GmOatY-xdgiXLm43EEkQj04kKrBJdh2Fui07vL%7EDKHyDaauyEBh94TLz7A%7E05tGqP7bMZiakPJg9hjgFu5mmHxnP41ZgR7M6PutmKsOne1DzXNBc1iP14GQDc2GK%7E2fZDUczTJ36VNketFPg5KYz6VxRJEvrNoLdV1GuAl7s77yErl78%7Eka29N3ocVU6pJIB4bw7ZNzyoXCNlgkb9AY4yz%7EHcLlhPsF%7ExxnLhb%7EwEBDKxZNAcH3QUelTQWyE0RcWDf%7E%7EfnVhHRtmYtKK%7E8Y1bCMcOb%7EYLXjbiH4%7E%7Eyxmc3E71yzeSPO-2dscK9iQ__&Key-Pair-Id=K6UGZS9ZTDSZM 8d81a87729c64a17df315d1a67d389ab https://d1y502jg6fpugt.cloudfront.net/58817/archive/files/3782d42182af04e81af38023221a7227.jpg?Expires=1779926400&Signature=uKiXqAmPEyVK9BHKTVkhFx%7Eb7t37Unm0eG02qTWvLpNSTyVenwU9NNglZ8Ax5CT3QntBeG1ECSVY43hrPRNPVSmC50IooHDmBjQPTTGg2g73xdoufyDomBc5fL8A9BQVMo74d5DEgUSxhaFMtAfqnizk0KJozJi-zmVdKhlfXmR14LnPORP7gSom8vEFJrS41IDA2VjH1Y15JMYJdFziTabwftrjjzPjaBhY5PV9s3-EvIz8aGp8XkjhriSGLzzg7EVcc3AmcGhb0n13gJTlkHTkTrVVeutxBO490zlfukyND-BHAfkErj0ic2-e6oEh%7EO1tYEB8MsUFOvrFuyw6DA__&Key-Pair-Id=K6UGZS9ZTDSZM 1997ce01fc6f143c442cc8ed881f7aa8 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Description An account of the resource Although not apparent at first blush, Il Messaggero della Salute, published by the same Italian Labor Publishing Company of Chicago that published La Parola del Popolo, see discussion below, arose from socialist and anarchist cultural impulses that reflect the anti-clerical sources of wisdom for living among Italian Americans of the left. Surprisingly, Il Messaggero has no mention in the standard reference works: in Durante, in the Routledge History of Italian Americans (William Connell, Stanislao Pugliese, ed., 2018), The Italian American Experience: an Encyclopedia (Sal LaGumina et al., 2000), La Storia: Five Centuries of the Italian American Experience (Jerre Mangione, Ben Morreale, ed., 1992) or in any other reference work, even the excellent discussion of the non-political culture of the Italian American left in Marcella Bencivenni's Italian Immigrant Radical Culture, in which time period (1890-1940) this magazine squarely fits. However, there is a brief and curious entry by Giovanni E. Schiavo in The Italians in Chicago: A Study of Americanization (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 not 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 Why Italy Entered into the World War and Soltanto l'eliminazione della neutralità potrà subito e per sempre impedire le guerre, q.v., of Luigi Carnovale, discussed below, and copies of several of whose books in Italian are in the collection, q.v. "Statement of the ownership, management, circulation etc. required by the Act of Congress of August 24, 1912" within 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. This monthly magazine that lasted for at least eleven years (1918 or 1919 to 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. 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. Here are some hints beyond looking at some essays in some issues from what we know of Lucidi. He was the publisher of La Parola, later called La Parola Proletaria, according to Durante, and see La Parola del Popolo: rivista bimestrale. Yet leftist (or other conventional) politics is not to be found in a sampling of issues of Il messaggero. This is consistent with much of the teaching materials developed by the Italian American left, which often dealt with purely cultural (i.e., non-political) issues as part of its substitution for the broad role of the Church in the lives of less politically oriented Italian Americans. Perhaps Il Messaggero della Salute - The Messenger of Health - 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 Geoterapia (Geotherapy), 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 Eufisia: the art of staying well, promising "health, vigor, beauty and longevity." 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 English, 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. 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. I found a copy for sale of one of the other works advertised in an issue of Il Messaggero, a curiously named brochure containing one "lecture", called The Crusaders Academy of Science, Incorporated: Constituted for the promotion and development of the spiritual and mental faculties, directed by the Masters of the Crusaders Order of the World, of the Masonic Society, q.v. Ah, Masons! Finally something familiar, although Masons or Freemasons, like Il Messaggero, aren't found in the Routledge History or the Italian American Encyclopedia, 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." Inside this typescript or mimeogaphed brochure, undated but perhaps 1932 (or so 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. 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. The 44 or more issues of this magazine alone should keep a few graduate students busy for a while. 1921-1930 Chicago health Italian Labor Publishing Co. magazine self-help https://d1y502jg6fpugt.cloudfront.net/58817/archive/files/551c1284d387b799d5b3258c9709f060.jpg?Expires=1779926400&Signature=UfWSxFurep16i6gDnh2dLE0q4XLtNe0FvmZusSkfNy54brdnRKfQptNBrWsE9IfvJAArX5V3v92Rf3QIEXXJONnboGEGbbc-6xfySC6RT3J4r3lMg1RnjfkbyH909FpYVw9wkvCmZ3keFeIGuT4xK9C31gI1vYQT6tA236CmzNnQzUaF3WP42YzBpIe8D3C82q-7i90j0gBZBjDv8bFEMXtovnfMKpUWDkMI75tLVL1Ameb7poxx4SeXsc20%7EQah487HC1bHjItyR9MYnaXBfqSs1PZ--Y154gzlDWPqW2KERTnI9Jgg754NBfr5f9j3QWr1iI-NEvKya76oTRN5Ig__&Key-Pair-Id=K6UGZS9ZTDSZM bdb6343cb1be87f419d09c9b4e8ff058 https://d1y502jg6fpugt.cloudfront.net/58817/archive/files/60ef80eb91737e69e404cc7273be7e5e.jpg?Expires=1779926400&Signature=GoA8yvEfPls5z6kXk-pW0JlKecl%7Ey285Dx0sPbD-txuaIcRys%7EdoPY2yoNs8WjSGV%7E8dESbg6vQYCO0hVVTkj1866V5%7EcujpxduXGMWBKnq3ovO7It3ynd3I1Y8Ul2NjFws7AApawEeRt0o7g8L1D8xh7kkDmJP4BGgySR25KvrWvKwF%7EqypFYRSQpeMAn4NI4Ox0zynMZHYPIb2q4P5U9zmN7CKbulvBCbOoEawTD8QcX75fMuRMr8Pnu8LnaaGs3-lhbczppXTkO%7EcWDtqPaSF5sOhD%7E3yqy5ghNsyiDfc3VKXRZ76Av2QShclO4idy5Td9-zRg4kcuA4MiAUOvQ__&Key-Pair-Id=K6UGZS9ZTDSZM 515f284cc8c88a1bcd6ba668ffaa2c5f Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Description An account of the resource Although not apparent at first blush, Il Messaggero della Salute, published by the same Italian Labor Publishing Company of Chicago that published La Parola del Popolo, see discussion below, arose from socialist and anarchist cultural impulses that reflect the anti-clerical sources of wisdom for living among Italian Americans of the left. Surprisingly, Il Messaggero has no mention in the standard reference works: in Durante, in the Routledge History of Italian Americans (William Connell, Stanislao Pugliese, ed., 2018), The Italian American Experience: an Encyclopedia (Sal LaGumina et al., 2000), La Storia: Five Centuries of the Italian American Experience (Jerre Mangione, Ben Morreale, ed., 1992) or in any other reference work, even the excellent discussion of the non-political culture of the Italian American left in Marcella Bencivenni's Italian Immigrant Radical Culture, in which time period (1890-1940) this magazine squarely fits. However, there is a brief and curious entry by Giovanni E. Schiavo in The Italians in Chicago: A Study of Americanization (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 not 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 Why Italy Entered into the World War and Soltanto l'eliminazione della neutralità potrà subito e per sempre impedire le guerre, q.v., of Luigi Carnovale, discussed below, and copies of several of whose books in Italian are in the collection, q.v. "Statement of the ownership, management, circulation etc. required by the Act of Congress of August 24, 1912" within 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. This monthly magazine that lasted for at least eleven years (1918 or 1919 to 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. 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. Here are some hints beyond looking at some essays in some issues from what we know of Lucidi. He was the publisher of La Parola, later called La Parola Proletaria, according to Durante, and see La Parola del Popolo: rivista bimestrale. Yet leftist (or other conventional) politics is not to be found in a sampling of issues of Il messaggero. This is consistent with much of the teaching materials developed by the Italian American left, which often dealt with purely cultural (i.e., non-political) issues as part of its substitution for the broad role of the Church in the lives of less politically oriented Italian Americans. Perhaps Il Messaggero della Salute - The Messenger of Health - 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 Geoterapia (Geotherapy), 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 Eufisia: the art of staying well, promising "health, vigor, beauty and longevity." 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 English, 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. 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. I found a copy for sale of one of the other works advertised in an issue of Il Messaggero, a curiously named brochure containing one "lecture", called The Crusaders Academy of Science, Incorporated: Constituted for the promotion and development of the spiritual and mental faculties, directed by the Masters of the Crusaders Order of the World, of the Masonic Society, q.v. Ah, Masons! Finally something familiar, although Masons or Freemasons, like Il Messaggero, aren't found in the Routledge History or the Italian American Encyclopedia, 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." Inside this typescript or mimeogaphed brochure, undated but perhaps 1932 (or so 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. 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. The 44 or more issues of this magazine alone should keep a few graduate students busy for a while. 1921-1930 Chicago health Italian Labor Publishing Co. magazine self-help https://d1y502jg6fpugt.cloudfront.net/58817/archive/files/3c7b68251eb20ee2166e41f686522c1f.jpg?Expires=1779926400&Signature=pOlAdmw6gmUk7TJGRt5r0PfFlTLPc9eAdiwsWs7uZOjzqhcqTeV9uo5RFyQwC80-be2HkDk7CiO%7EYwg9klhLVHQlhKaT2CmxnhXcTF7PGhVq5MP9MoyTzPbCIbY%7EvKfFt9ysgbP7EYvghRb9Zgdtz7iJl48Djv4Ztm8RUcCp-RdX3-MZiK9b6MdYQzMZ2pyJY2bLShZYKrSd48O4PmTLr6-utQkoiw1GmGhBdEHdaVV4Sw5om-0Pvd603qP%7EqTGEybHEvK58DjhWf0um2v1dveFjbfAP2REVwp7aGVR5ujayXeyno8lrCH5yuAoSIvJcnj5liFzNKBIH5fo%7EzPsFSA__&Key-Pair-Id=K6UGZS9ZTDSZM db7703ff526c2495e87493a70ab46c2d https://d1y502jg6fpugt.cloudfront.net/58817/archive/files/7beec000c3278e76c9d2fd6417d63a98.jpg?Expires=1779926400&Signature=QLO7tF6DA8Nggb3ZivHFr%7E-zRNH9q0fDTVGr6RK6IRVK-2ejZOJz92ccaQxPaLaHHe-3KclgjvmT-mtnfa61oOiNhtgo%7E0JM4EgapEsuczNrtxUnMOWQSfrwB4KOUiHM20GD2I7XK3JrXU6eK80UBOX-cLOFc0Ef9lbKIk9kaNkTIWt-aNJwOi7DHnOdf2ppMI7ZgCcO0e7c1S%7EC52LJZ8O5b0MtmV7akBHXMkHiD3YNRkN-QIcWaHCMsXROSOAabUSqVq7ntweYWEpq2uijubk2y8dOf0TsKL3HFaDUcfxQi%7E38Sm2KnXcauzMD3M-HvND0J7OfU3yx5mysTkeXDw__&Key-Pair-Id=K6UGZS9ZTDSZM eaa1da346068d5240144272b31135268 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Description An account of the resource Although not apparent at first blush, Il Messaggero della Salute, published by the same Italian Labor Publishing Company of Chicago that published La Parola del Popolo, see discussion below, arose from socialist and anarchist cultural impulses that reflect the anti-clerical sources of wisdom for living among Italian Americans of the left. Surprisingly, Il Messaggero has no mention in the standard reference works: in Durante, in the Routledge History of Italian Americans (William Connell, Stanislao Pugliese, ed., 2018), The Italian American Experience: an Encyclopedia (Sal LaGumina et al., 2000), La Storia: Five Centuries of the Italian American Experience (Jerre Mangione, Ben Morreale, ed., 1992) or in any other reference work, even the excellent discussion of the non-political culture of the Italian American left in Marcella Bencivenni's Italian Immigrant Radical Culture, in which time period (1890-1940) this magazine squarely fits. However, there is a brief and curious entry by Giovanni E. Schiavo in The Italians in Chicago: A Study of Americanization (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 not 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 Why Italy Entered into the World War and Soltanto l'eliminazione della neutralità potrà subito e per sempre impedire le guerre, q.v., of Luigi Carnovale, discussed below, and copies of several of whose books in Italian are in the collection, q.v. "Statement of the ownership, management, circulation etc. required by the Act of Congress of August 24, 1912" within 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. This monthly magazine that lasted for at least eleven years (1918 or 1919 to 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. 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. Here are some hints beyond looking at some essays in some issues from what we know of Lucidi. He was the publisher of La Parola, later called La Parola Proletaria, according to Durante, and see La Parola del Popolo: rivista bimestrale. Yet leftist (or other conventional) politics is not to be found in a sampling of issues of Il messaggero. This is consistent with much of the teaching materials developed by the Italian American left, which often dealt with purely cultural (i.e., non-political) issues as part of its substitution for the broad role of the Church in the lives of less politically oriented Italian Americans. Perhaps Il Messaggero della Salute - The Messenger of Health - 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 Geoterapia (Geotherapy), 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 Eufisia: the art of staying well, promising "health, vigor, beauty and longevity." 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 English, 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. 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. I found a copy for sale of one of the other works advertised in an issue of Il Messaggero, a curiously named brochure containing one "lecture", called The Crusaders Academy of Science, Incorporated: Constituted for the promotion and development of the spiritual and mental faculties, directed by the Masters of the Crusaders Order of the World, of the Masonic Society, q.v. Ah, Masons! Finally something familiar, although Masons or Freemasons, like Il Messaggero, aren't found in the Routledge History or the Italian American Encyclopedia, 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." Inside this typescript or mimeogaphed brochure, undated but perhaps 1932 (or so 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. 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. The 44 or more issues of this magazine alone should keep a few graduate students busy for a while. 1921-1930 Chicago health Italian Labor Publishing Co. magazine periodical self-help https://d1y502jg6fpugt.cloudfront.net/58817/archive/files/d4d8257ae8920b41df9dfd2638649bae.jpg?Expires=1779926400&Signature=Y87sR1sFCnzlvOe0ZUtTC8zFOqHH0lK-2In10VE3lspVdfgExBcrp-tZyXSzcC8Npwp7%7ELwri5HmrUVg7tgGeECCURHuv9fbuViCietABqMVs-4vfRyldwReCRIpYaF4hx5FGrsNfDxFGzghGte14UXbBXOAKLSpOIBqhOgbSb8zEcW5y60o9f24vky%7EREsps2YTPb3wwIo%7E1uIYzD7me0IyXoG0-it1tc8CeWvgZ66I8Hbs9Qyq7fa-QxYKgB%7EKEdZJ1YuHSr29v5mA3xZ5NykA9OKgOLo041Uz3jgCFVArEe5Wj3M5qLtHv7eumivmLXb-5v8klXVGAV2Yw9sggA__&Key-Pair-Id=K6UGZS9ZTDSZM bf04c96f5646e22e71fbaca646d12f0c https://d1y502jg6fpugt.cloudfront.net/58817/archive/files/33869b2a8ee2249ded8dbc85f6bb7631.jpg?Expires=1779926400&Signature=Rsfk6DoUaWhyOncaxlDY7tcwoosUWFWkz5cLNngggAebm251vaj3VwzUR0y59o-ENfrF7UvSCe4sGZYETwTuOf0pgwjbKtH6ChkSj2cMAEVAROm-BQpz291afnnZTV0r%7EMnEgK-cbMK7C%7Ej1imCAUFs-2n9CqjAjgez3xxFFWaNY%7EMUSlB%7ErbzE6SH%7EZpA0VhTH7CiIxaEkoxMPjIAM%7Eco1rAPyBtz3TOSJAyJiCoT--e-u6RsiNvgZiofN9EYwFWxwoBWJhmzJ10wbRrFUtRimf4UHgsRZ4QUsZThcHx4yjUU5phpCW%7Eko9Jx73%7ELyiaklsIC2msiRXE8678xGVUw__&Key-Pair-Id=K6UGZS9ZTDSZM a2043c31e07788c658fd59fbb97bc5d6 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Description An account of the resource Although not apparent at first blush, Il Messaggero della Salute, published by the same Italian Labor Publishing Company of Chicago that published La Parola del Popolo, see discussion below, arose from socialist and anarchist cultural impulses that reflect the anti-clerical sources of wisdom for living among Italian Americans of the left. Surprisingly, Il Messaggero has no mention in the standard reference works: in Durante, in the Routledge History of Italian Americans (William Connell, Stanislao Pugliese, ed., 2018), The Italian American Experience: an Encyclopedia (Sal LaGumina et al., 2000), La Storia: Five Centuries of the Italian American Experience (Jerre Mangione, Ben Morreale, ed., 1992) or in any other reference work, even the excellent discussion of the non-political culture of the Italian American left in Marcella Bencivenni's Italian Immigrant Radical Culture, in which time period (1890-1940) this magazine squarely fits. However, there is a brief and curious entry by Giovanni E. Schiavo in The Italians in Chicago: A Study of Americanization (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 not 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 Why Italy Entered into the World War and Soltanto l'eliminazione della neutralità potrà subito e per sempre impedire le guerre, q.v., of Luigi Carnovale, discussed below, and copies of several of whose books in Italian are in the collection, q.v. "Statement of the ownership, management, circulation etc. required by the Act of Congress of August 24, 1912" within 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. This monthly magazine that lasted for at least eleven years (1918 or 1919 to 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. 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. Here are some hints beyond looking at some essays in some issues from what we know of Lucidi. He was the publisher of La Parola, later called La Parola Proletaria, according to Durante, and see La Parola del Popolo: rivista bimestrale. Yet leftist (or other conventional) politics is not to be found in a sampling of issues of Il messaggero. This is consistent with much of the teaching materials developed by the Italian American left, which often dealt with purely cultural (i.e., non-political) issues as part of its substitution for the broad role of the Church in the lives of less politically oriented Italian Americans. Perhaps Il Messaggero della Salute - The Messenger of Health - 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 Geoterapia (Geotherapy), 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 Eufisia: the art of staying well, promising "health, vigor, beauty and longevity." 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 English, 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. 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. I found a copy for sale of one of the other works advertised in an issue of Il Messaggero, a curiously named brochure containing one "lecture", called The Crusaders Academy of Science, Incorporated: Constituted for the promotion and development of the spiritual and mental faculties, directed by the Masters of the Crusaders Order of the World, of the Masonic Society, q.v. Ah, Masons! Finally something familiar, although Masons or Freemasons, like Il Messaggero, aren't found in the Routledge History or the Italian American Encyclopedia, 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." Inside this typescript or mimeogaphed brochure, undated but perhaps 1932 (or so 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. 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. The 44 or more issues of this magazine alone should keep a few graduate students busy for a while. 1921-1930 Chicago health Italian Labor Publishing Co. magazine self-help
