Bertoldo

Bertoldo was a biweekly magazine of surreal humour that ran from July 14 1936 to 10 September 1943 under Italian Fascism. The magazine was based in Milan.[1] While the Becco Giallo magazine put out courageous political satire against the fascist regime, the reactionary authors of Bertoldo, like Marcello Marchesi, as well as Marc'Aurelio, developed a kind of surreal humour that was accepted by the regime.[2][3]

Some of the best young artists and writers worked on the magazine.[4] Among them were the popular author Giovannino Guareschi (1908–1968), and the Romanian Jewish architect-student (later famous American cartoonist) Saul Steinberg (1914–1999).[5] Guareschi edited the magazine from 1936 to 1943.[1]
