Officina

(1955–8). Review edited in Bologna by Francesco Leonetti , Pier Paolo Pasolini and Roberto Roversi , with the subsequent involvement of Angelo Romanò , Gianni Scalia , and Franco Fortini . Marxist in orientation and indebted to the experience of Vittorini's Politecnico , the review mounted an important challenge to the literary canon, declaring itself equally hostile to hermetic ideas of the autonomy of art and to Neorealist impegno . Whilst the polemics staged by the review were politically charged, the emphases and concerns remained essentially literary and individualistic, ultimately divisively so. A short-lived new series was published by Bompiani in 1959. [.]
