History and profile

First cover Grazia 1938 Mondadori

The Italian edition of Grazia was first published by Mondadori in November 1938.[6] Mondadori started the magazine to compete with Lei, a women's magazine published by the Rizzoli company.[7] Grazia was modelled on the American magazine Harper's Bazaar.[8] The start of Grazia was a return in Italy to traditionalist values such as cooking and child-rearing.[9]

During the fascist rule in the country the magazine followed the Fascist policies and propaganda.[9] Following World War II the magazine was renewed, but its conservative stance remained.[9] Its conservatism continued during the late 1960s in that although miniskirts were featured in the fashion pages, these garments were commented from a conservative perspective in its social commentaries.[10]

From its beginning in 1938 to September 1943, Bruno Munari served as the art director for the magazine and for another Mondadori title, Tempo.[11]

In Italy it is owned by Mondadori[6][12] which later became one of Silvio Berlusconi's companies.[13]

Grazia published an article in July 2015 that promoted the breeding of family pets to make money with a statement from the British Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) critical of Grazia.[14]
