Il Borghese is a monthly cultural and political magazine with a right-wing stance published in Rome, Italy. The magazine has been in circulation since 1950[1] and is named after the conservative Borghese family.[2] and published until 1993. The newspaper has resumed publication several times for short periods. Since 2007 it has been published by the publishing house Pagine.

History and profile

[edit]

Il Borghese was established by Leo Longanesi in 1950.[3][4] He founded other magazines such as L’Italiano and Omnibus.[3] Il Borghese is published weekly and has a right-wing and conservative stance.[4][2]

Leo Longanesi and Indro Montanelli were the early co-editors of Il Borghese.[5] The former held the post until his death in 1957.[6] The other early contributors include Giovanni Ansaldo, Giuseppe Prezzolini, Giovanni Spadolini, Mario Tedeschi, Alberto Savinio, Ennio Flaiano, Colette Rosselli, Irene Brin, Goffredo Parise and Mario Missiroli.[7]

In the 1950s the magazine was close to Christian Democracy Party.[8] However, its support ended when Longanesi argued that the party was too weak to counter the "communist threat".[8] Il Borghese was closed down in 2001.[9] It was relaunched in Rome in December 2012.[9]
