History and profile
editLa Rivoluzione Liberale was established in Turin by Gobetti in 1922, and the first issue appeared on 12 February that year.[1][2] Gobetti also edited the magazine, which was published weekly by Luigi Einaudi.[1][3] Its publisher was a small company that was owned by Gobetti.[4]
In the first issue, La Rivoluzione Liberale declared itself as a forum for discussion of the problems concerning the political system and civic and cultural life of the Kingdom of Italy.[1] It attempted to inform its readers about the origins of these problems and about Gobetti's theories of government,[1] and his views on a new political synthesis.[4] Gobetti employed the magazine as a vehicle to present a liberal revolution, which he argued that Italy had not experienced.[5] One of the contributors was his wife Ada Gobetti.[6] Due to its opposition to Fascist Italy and its policies, the magazine was subject to frequent bans and was permanently closed in November 1925.[2][7]
Gobetti continued his opposition to Italian fascist rule in another magazine, Il Baretti, which had been also founded by him.[8]
