Il 420. Florence, 19 January 1930.
Exhibit Image

Il 420 was one of the most important and virulent satirical journals of the Fascist period in Italy. Special targets of the issue shown here are the anti-Fascist exiles on French soil, who are portrayed as terrorists. Carlo Rosselli and his companions had escaped to France and established their movement of resistance just a few months before.
