ALMA ROMA. - Monthly periodical, published in Rome from Jan. 1913 to Oct. 1942, at the Vatican printing press. It had been preceded by another similar journal, in Latin Vox Urbis (v.), and its director until his death, which also marked the end of the publication, was Giuseppe Fornari, a lay official of the Roman Curia (d. Sept. 18, 1942). The periodical, which bore the subtitle: Latinitatis praeconium, was written entirely in Latin, aiming at the cultivation and diffusion of the language of Rome (it bore the significant motto: «quidquid non possidet armis religione tenet»). The subjects treated were the most varied, and contemporary life and chronicle also had a notable part in it; the essays in poetry were numerous. With Fornari collaborated the best contemporary ecclesiastical Latinists, Italian and from other countries.
