History and profile

Circoli was started in Genoa in 1931.[2][3] Adriano Grande, an Italian poet, was the founder of the magazine,[2] which intended to be the successor of Solaria, a literary magazine published in Turin and Florentine.[3] Circoli was subtitled Rivista di Poesi (Italian: Poetry Magazine) and was published on a bimonthly basis.[1] The publisher was Grafico editoriale.[4] From 1935 the frequency of the magazine became monthly.[4]

Grande was also the director of the magazine, which published translations of the work by international authors, among others.[5][6] Attilio Bertolucci and Salvatore Quasimodo were among the contributors to the magazine.[7] During its existence the magazine was supported by the press office.[6] In December 1939 the magazine was closed down with the publication of the twelfth issue.[8]
