Epoca (meaning Age in English) was an Italian illustrated weekly current events magazine published in Milan, Italy.
History and profile
Epoca was first published on 14 October 1950.[1][2][3] The magazine was modelled on Life[4][5] and Paris Match.[2] The magazine was part of Mondadori[3][6] and was based in Milan.[7]
Its first editor was Alberto Mondadori who was succeeded in the post by Enzo Biagi in 1953.[2] The magazine sold 500,000 copies in 1955.[2]
During the period until 1960 when Enzo Biagi edited Epoca the magazine covered current affairs news, social attitudes as well as TV news.[2] The magazine also included frequent and detailed articles about Hollywood stars of the period[8][9] and Italian movie stars such as Gina Lollobrigida.[10] The weekly had offices in New York, Paris and Tokyo.[5] From June 1952 to the late 1958 the Cuban-Italian writer Alba de Céspedes wrote an agony column, called Dalla parte di lei, in the magazine.[11]
Then Epoca became part of Rizzoli Editori[5] and began to cover travel and nature news with photographs and scientific articles.[2] The magazine had a section called I bei posti (meaning Beautiful Places in English) where the photographs of unknown places such as Bahamas, Marrakesh and Acapulco by Mario de Biasi, Alfredo Panucci and Giorgio Lotti were published.[4]
Epoca's circulation was 400,000 copies in 1963.[12] In 1970 the circulation of the magazine was 350,000 copies.[13] The weekly had a circulation of 120,046 copies in 1984.[14]
Epoca was closed down in 1997 due to low circulation.[2][7]
