Campo di Marte (meaning Field of Mars in English) was an Italian language literary magazine published briefly from 1938 to 1939 in Italy.
Campo di Marte was established by Vasco Pratolini and Alfonso Gatto in August 1938. They also edited the magazine which had its headquarters in Florence.
Campo di Marte declared its goal as “to educate the people” about all the arts. It had a sceptical approach towards the European avant-garde and modernist experience as well as to mass culture. The magazine had an anti-fascist political leaning. It openly questioned several aspects of the fascist regime in Italy. Thus, it was subject to the censorship of the regime and it was closed down by the regime in August 1939 after mere twelve issues.
