History and profile

Campo di Marte declared its goal as "to educate the people" about 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. It was subjected to censorship and closed down by the regime in August 1939 after only twelve issues.
