La Lupa (Italian: The she wolf) was a weekly magazine which was published in Florence, Italy, in the period 1910–1911. Although it existed for a short period, it is known to be one of the publications which laid the foundations of the fascist governments in the following years.[1]

History and profile

[edit]

La Lupa was first published on 16 October 1910.[2] The magazine was founded by Paolo Orano and was published on a weekly basis in Florence until 8 October 1911.[2][3] It was an illustrated magazine with the size of 60x43 cm.[3]

Orano was editor of the magazine.[3][4] La Lupa was an advocate of the nationalism based on energy and will.[5] The weekly supported the war in Libya against the Ottoman Empire considering it as a revolution.[2] The magazine became a platform for both syndicalists supporting Georges Sorel who was among the contributors and anti-parliamentarian nationalists, but provided them with an emerging ideology, namely proletarian nation.[5] It was developed by Enrico Corradini and would be adopted by future Fascist ruler of Italy, Benito Mussolini.[5] Major contributors of La Lupa were nationalist figures, including Enrico Corradini, Arturo Labriola, Massimo Fovel, Paolo Mantica, A. Renda, Emilio Roncati, Gustavo Magni, Rhea Silvia, Michele Giua and Donna Paola.[3][6]
