Abstract

In 1901 an almanac for children was published by Bemporad in Florence. Its title, Barbadoro, took after Barbanera, a legendary editor of almanacs issued in central Italy since the 18 th century. Not only did the title deliberately refer to the time-honoured tradition of almanacs, but also the publication’s contents, which included a calendar and information about time measure, represented a new declination of a long-lasting publishing genre. Besides describing Barbadoro, the article aims at retracing some crucial points of the cross-cultural circulation of almanacs in the Italian late mod- ern period, taking into account some examples of “contamination” with keepsakes, self-help literature, periodical publications and textbooks.
