Il Giornalino #v. 81 no. 22

Il Giornalino is a long-running Italian weekly magazine founded in 1924, originally conceived as a publication for young readers under the influence of the Society of Saint Paul. It gained significant cultural traction throughout the mid-20th century by balancing religious education with high-quality comic serials, often serving as the primary bridge for Italian youth to access both domestic and international illustrated narratives.

The 2014 era of the publication, which includes volume 81, represents a period where the magazine transitioned toward more contemporary editorial standards while maintaining its traditional commitment to serialized storytelling. During this time, the magazine collaborated with various prominent illustrators and writers, aiming to retain its classic identity as a clean, educational, yet entertaining staple of Italian households, a role it successfully sustained for nearly a century before ceasing print production.
