History and profile
''Rinascita'' was founded in 1944. The founder was Palmiro Togliatti, the leader of the PCI. He launched the magazine upon his return to Italy from exile in Moscow. He also edited the magazine until his death in 1964. ''Rinascita'', published on a monthly basis, was headquartered in Rome. It was an official organ of the PCI. ''Rinascita'' was established to serve as an ideological guide for militants and to revive the Marxist movement. The magazine described the party as the one, which had the most comprehensive vision of the nation's interests. It attempted to develop a connection between Gramsci and Stalin. Following the death of Stalin in 1953 ''Rinascita'' described him as the perfect example of Marxists. From 1962 the magazine was published weekly. At the end of the 1980s ''Rinascita'' temporarily stopped publication due to the low circulation figures. It was soon relaunched, but again ceased publication in March 1991. Alberto Asor Rosa was the last editor of the magazine.References
