Guerin Meschino (Italian: The Shabby Guerin) was a weekly satirical magazine which existed in Milan between 1882 and 1949 with an interruption in the period 1925–1943. It had an anti-Fascist and leftist political stance which led to this long-term hiatus.

History and profile[edit]

Guerin Meschino was started by Francesco and Giovanni Pozza in Milan in 1882.[1][2] They were also the publishers of the magazine which appeared on a weekly basis.[1] Italian architect Piero Portaluppi was among the cartoonists of Guerin Meschino.[3] It ceased publication in 1925.[1] Following the end of the Fascist rule it was restarted in 1943.[1] During this second period Guerin Meschino displayed a moderate conservative approach.[4] The magazine permanently folded in 1949.[1]
