Abstract

In its twenty years of publication, the Italian-language, New York-based weekly Divagando (1943-1963) showcased – in its very diversified columns, in its eye-catching covers and layout, in its advertising campaigns – the lure and snare of modern times and the characteristic energy of the post-WWII period. At the same time, the keen attention to a wide public of immigrant background translated into a distinct Italian accent, which proved particularly noteworthy in the offer of bicultural literary products – from Manzoni to Faulkner – and of fiction aimed at a readership of “new” Italian ethnic women.
