Tempo (meaning Time in English) was an Italian language illustrated weekly news magazine published in Milan, Italy, between 1939 and 1976 with a temporary interruption during World War II.

History and profile

Tempo was first published on 9 June 1939,[1][2] being the first full colour illustrated Italian magazine.[3] The founding company was Mondadori.[2][4] The magazine was modelled on the American magazines Life[2] and Newsweek.[5]

Tempo was edited by Alberto Mondadori, son of Arnoldo Mondadori.[6][7] Indro Montanelli was the first editor-in-chief of the magazine.[6] From its start in 1939 to September 1943 Bruno Munari served as the art director for the magazine and for another Mondadori title, Grazia.[8] The early contributors for Tempo were Massimo Bontempelli, Curzio Malaparte,[9] Lamberti Sorrentino, and Salvatore Quasimodo.[10] The magazine also included the work by photographers John Philiphs who previously worked for Life, and Federico Patellani.[10]

The headquarters of Tempo was in Milan.[11] Major sections of the magazine included politics, news, literature and art.[3] Although it was modeled on Life, unlike it Tempo covered much more political topics.[3] By 1942 Tempo had editions published in eight different languages,[2] including Albanian, Croatian, French, Greek, Rumanian, Spanish, German and Hungarian.[6]

On 8 September 1943 Tempo stopped publication following the occupation of northern Italy by German army during World War II.[3][10] In 1946 Mondadori sold the magazine to Aldo Palazzi.[9] Then the magazine was relaunched and was both owned and published by Palazzi.[11][12] During this period it held a centrist political stance.[11]

In 1976 Tempo ceased publication.[13]
