Cronache Sociali (Italian: Social Chronicles) was a biweekly political magazine that was published in Rome, Italy, between 1947 and 1951. The magazine was one of the publications by the factions within the Christian Democracy (DC) and mostly focused on the political economy.

History and profile[edit]

Cronache Sociali was started by Giuseppe Dossetti and Giuseppe Lazzati in 1947.[1][2] Some academics from the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore in Milan were also instrumental in the establishment of the magazine.[3] Its goal was to encourage an economic approach called Catholic Keynesianism in line with the Catholic values.[3] It was based in Rome and came out biweekly.[4]

Cronache Sociali was affiliated with the leftist figures within the DC, including Giorgio La Pira[5] and Leopoldo Elia.[6][7] The magazine contributors were part of a faction within the DC known as Cronache Sociali.[8] The group used the magazine to defend their ideology called integral democracy which supported Christian solidarity in the fields of the state, society and the economy.[2][9] They were critical of Alcide De Gasperi, the leader of DC,[5][8] and their motto was First the person and then the market.[9]

Cronache Sociali folded in 1951, and the faction led by Dossetti was also disbanded.[2][9] The magazine was archived by the University of Bologna.[4]
