History and profile
Circoli was started in Genoa in 1931.[2][3] Adriano Grande, an Italian poet, was the founder of the magazine,[2] which intended to be the successor of Solaria, a literary magazine published in Turin and Florentine.[3] It was subtitled Rivista di Poesi (Poetry Magazine) and was published on a bimonthly basis.[1]
Grande was also the director of the magazine, which published translations of the work by international authors, among the others.[4][5] Attilio Bertolucci and Salvatore Quasimodo were some of the contributors to the magazine.[6][7] During its existence the magazine was supported by the press office.[5] In 1936 the magazine was closed down.[2]
