Corrente di Vita

Corrente di Vita was a biweekly Italian political magazine published between 1938 and 1940.

In 1938 Ernesto Treccani, with the financial backing of his father, Senator Giovanni Treccani degli Alfieri, founded the magazine “Vita Giovanile”, first a monthly and then biweekly, whose title was later changed to Corrente di Vita Giovanile and finally to “Corrente”. Founded as an independent paper, free from the directives of the GUF (University Fascist Group), the magazine was closed by the Fascist regime on June 10, 1940, when Italy came in to the war. "Corrente" quickly became a point of reference for Italian antifascist culture in the late 1930s, offering itself as a democratic alternative to the official guidelines of the Ministry of Popular Culture, and strongly criticizing the Novecento Italiano movement, the art of the regime and late Futurism.

The Corrente movement covered different fields and disciplines - film, theater, literature, poetry and visual arts - bringing together the best intellectual forces of the time. A plurality of voices that included, among the staff of the magazine: Luciano Anceschi, Giulio Carlo Argan, Antonio Banfi, Piero Bigongiari, Luigi Comencini, Raffaelino De Grada, Dino Del Bo, Giansiro Ferrata, Carlo Emilio Gadda, Alfonso Gatto, Beniamino Joppolo, Alberto Lattuada, Eugenio Montale, Duilio Morosini,Enzo Paci, Vasco Pratolini, Salvatore Quasimodo, Luigi Rognoni (), Umberto Saba, Vittorio Sereni, Giancarlo Vigorelli, Elio Vittorini.
