                <text>The collection is rich in hard to find magazines and/or newspapers like Ernesto Valentini's &lt;em&gt;Zarathustra&lt;/em&gt;, Vincenzo Vacirca's &lt;em&gt;Il Solco &lt;/em&gt;and &lt;em&gt;La Strada&lt;/em&gt;, Aldino Felicani's &lt;em&gt;La Controcorrente&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;Il Proletario&lt;/em&gt;, Enrico Arrigoni's &lt;em&gt;Eresia&lt;/em&gt;, Carlo Tresca's &lt;em&gt;Il Martello&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Guardia Rossa&lt;/em&gt;, Antonino Capraro's &lt;em&gt;Alba Nuova&lt;/em&gt;, Arturo Giovannitti's &lt;em&gt;Vita&lt;/em&gt;, Agostino De Biasi's &lt;em&gt;Il Carroccio, &lt;/em&gt;T. Lucidi's &lt;em&gt;Il Messaggero della Salute&lt;/em&gt;, Guido Podrecca's and Gabriele Galantara's &lt;em&gt;L'Asino&lt;/em&gt; (this last mostly published in Rome) and others.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As Francesco Durante rightly observed in &lt;em&gt;Italoamericana&lt;/em&gt;, understanding the contribution of journalism among Italian Americans - almost solely in Italian at the outset - to the community life, as well as to the culture of the immigrant community, is central to understanding that community. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Virtually all of the writers whose book-length works we see and celebrate in the collection, whether political or not, began their writing careers with newspaper or magazine writing. Some even immigrated to the U.S. precisely to do just that, but those were exceptional.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The politics of the magazines and newspapers ran the gamut from left to right, and some - e.g., &lt;em&gt;Il Messaggero della Salute&lt;/em&gt; - were not really political in that sense at all. The separation often observed between the political and the literary sections of the magazines is surprising and deserves examination all by itself: one can find the stories of Clara Vacirca, married to and sharing the political leanings of the socialist Vincenzo Vacirca, published in the right-wing &lt;em&gt;Il Carroccio&lt;/em&gt;, and less overtly political writers like Salvatore Benanti and Federico Mennella often contributed literary pieces to leftist periodicals like &lt;em&gt;La Follia di New York. &lt;/em&gt;For example, Mennella wrote the dialect column for &lt;em&gt;La Follia &lt;/em&gt;for some time. The catholic nature of the magazines in the literary culture of the Italians reflected one of its strengths.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whatever the mixture of news from Italy and from America, whether "news events," or political or cultural commentary, short stories or poems, whether from Italians still in Italy or immigrants in the U.S. or translated from German, French. English or Russian - all of which were quite prevalent - or elaborations of philosophies of living, sometimes imported but sometimes "home-grown" in the U.S., the magazines and newspapers provide a rich insight into this world. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Beyond the articles themselves were, in many cases, letters to the editors and lists of new subscribers (and the cities and towns they lived in), both of which enlarge our understanding of what parts of the immigrant community were reached and affected by the printed word. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This, too, is a subject that deserves close examination, and has been discussed recently, for example, in a fine essay by historian Adam Quinn discussing whether the &lt;em&gt;Cronaca Sovversiva&lt;/em&gt; of the anti-organizational anarchist Luigi Galleani was a "seditious rag" or a community newspaper - or both. Quinn clearly concludes that it was both. The same can be said for &lt;em&gt;Il Martello&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;La Follia di New York&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;Il Carroccio&lt;/em&gt; and many of the other political magazines - they were part of the "glue" that held together the Italian community quite beyond their immediate political messages.</text>

              <text>The collection includes:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;L'Adunata dei Refrattari, &lt;/em&gt;Volume XXIV, Numero 7 - February 17, 1945&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;L'Adunata dei Refrattari,&lt;/em&gt; Volume XL, Number 8 - February 25, 1961.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;L'Adunata&lt;/em&gt; was the "reborn" version of the &lt;em&gt;Cronaca Sovversiva&lt;/em&gt; of Luigi Galleani (circulation between 3,200 and 5,000 between 1912 and 1918, according to Avrich  1991, 50 and Pernicone, Cannistraro &amp;amp; Meyer 2003, 81), which ceased publication when its founding editor and inspiration was deported from the United States to Italy in 1919. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;L'Adunata&lt;/em&gt; was begun and run by Galleani's followers in the U.S. after Galleani’s deportation in 1919, and edited by Raffaele Schiavina, who wrote and published under the name "Max Sartin," q.v. several works of his in the Collection. Its circulation between 1922 and 1939 was reportedly 5,000 (Paul Berman, "The Torch and the Axe: The Unknown Aftermath of the Sacco-Vanzetti Affair." &lt;em&gt;The Village Voice&lt;/em&gt;, 17 May 1988)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The publishing arm of &lt;em&gt;L'Adunata&lt;/em&gt; - the &lt;em&gt;Biblioteca de l'Adunata dei Refrattari&lt;/em&gt; - released many full-length works (typically, collections of shorter pieces), like those in the Collection, q.v., as well as pamphlets, sometimes without Galleani’s authorization, due to his being unreachable in exile on the island of Lipari. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;L’Adunata&lt;/em&gt; also published Galleani in Europe, e.g., in Rome as late as 1947, often using the same printer’s mark (a mermaid-like torchbearer) he used in the earliest of his works. The international character of the movement had long been clear: in one work, readers of an Italian-language edition of &lt;em&gt;Organizzazione e anarchia&lt;/em&gt;, published in Paris (by L. Chauvet) sometime after 1925, are urged in a message in the inside rear cover to buy a copy of Galleani’s &lt;em&gt;La fine dell’anarchismo?&lt;/em&gt;, published in the United States (Newark) in 1925.</text>
