Il Tevere was launched by Benito Mussolini in 1924, and the first issue appeared on 27 December that year.
Telesio Interlandi was named as the director of the paper which was headquartered in Rome.
Corrado Pavolini worked as the literary editor of
Il Tevere. Until the early 1930 many significant figures contributed to
Il Tevere:
Luigi Pirandello,
Emilio Cecchi,
Giuseppe Ungaretti,
Vincenzo Cardarelli,
Vitaliano Brancati,
Antonio Baldini,
Marino Mazzacurati,
Amerigo Bartoli,
Elio Vittorini,
Corrado Alvaro,
Ardengo Soffici and
Alberto Moravia. In October 1932 it published an interview with
Adolf Hitler before the
Reichstag elections. In 1938
Il Tevere suggested that the movies featuring
Charlie Chaplin, the
Ritz Brothers and the
Marx Brothers should not be watched by the Italians in that their humor was not Aryan. The last issue of the paper was published on 25 July 1943 when Mussolini resigned from his post. ==References==
