RAGGUAGLIO DELL'ATTIVITÀ LETTE- RARIA, CULTURALE E ARTISTICA DEI CATTOLICI IN ITALIA, IL

Report on the Literary, Cultural and Artistic Activity of Catholics in Italy, II. - Annual review of such activities, begun in 1930 by M. Luzzi, R. Perondi and E. Lucatello (in Florence until 1933, then in Milan).

In the climate of the rebirth of literary activities of openly Catholic sentiment and expression, which arose after 1923 around G. Papini and which then coalesced especially in Il Carroccio of Bologna, La Festa of Milan, Il Frontespizio of Florence, Tradizione of Palermo, Il Rinascimento letterario of Genoa, L'Arte cattolica of Turin, etc., the Report, by taking stock year by year, helped to guide and coordinate the various local groups. Within the framework of this orientation, the congresses of Catholic writers held in those years in Bologna, Florence, Milan, Naples and Rome also fall. The publications were interrupted due to the war after 1942, but were resumed in 1952. Since 1935 a monthly Catholic bibliographical review with the same title has been published in Milan.
