Solaria was a modernist literary magazine published in Florence, Italy, between 1926 and 1936. The title is a reference to the city of sun.[1] The magazine is known for its significant influence on young Italian writers.[2] It was one of the publications which contributed to the development of the concept of Europeanism.[3]

History and profile

Solaria was established in Florence in 1926.[4][5] It was inspired from two magazines: La Voce and La Ronda.[6] The founders were Alessandro Bonsanti and Alberto Carocci.[4] Its publisher was Edizioni di Solaria, and the magazine was published on a monthly basis.[7][8] As of 1929 Giansiro Ferrata served as the co-editor of the magazine.[9] Alessandro Bonsanti replaced him in the post in 1930 which he held until 1933.[9]

The major goal of Solaria was to Europeanize

Jewish writers.[17]

After producing a total of forty-one volumes Solaria ceased publication

fascist authorities partly due to the serialization of Elio Vittorini's novel, Il garofano rosso, in the magazine.[1][18]
