The magazine was first published in January 1938 under the title Bollettino Mensile (Monthly Bulletin).[2] In November that year the title was changed by the Fascist administration to the Monthly Bulletin of the Italian Ponte Association.[2] Between December 1941 and 1946 the magazine temporarily ceased publication due to World War II.[2] In 1946 the magazine could publish only one issue with the title Bridge, and from 1947 its frequency was made monthly.[2] In 1953 the magazine was renamed as Bridge d'Italia of which editor-in-chief was Cesare Guglielmetti.[2] The other editors-in-chief were Luigi Firbo who succeeded Cesare Guglielmetti in 1957 and held the post until June 1970 when Guido Barbone was appointed to the post.[2] From April 1986 Riccardo Vandoni was made the editor-in-chief of the magazine.[2]
