History and profile

Famiglia Cristiana was founded by Pia Società San Paolo, a Catholic foundation, in Milan in 1931.[2][3] The first issue appeared on 25 December 1931.[3] Its original aim was to guide Catholics living in the rural and provincial north Italy to successfully cope with the spiritual and practical challenges of modern life.[4] During its early years it was a local magazine targeting women.[4] The magazine was temporarily suspended in the course of World War II.[3] In 1954 its coverage expanded to include articles about food, fashion, politics and religion.[4] However, its readers remained to be mainly women who resided in the northern Italy and were from the middle class in the urban and rural regions.[3]

During the 1980s, Famiglia Cristiana was one of the Italian periodicals that the Piano di Rinascita Democratica (Democratic rebirth plan) of Licio Gelli wanted to subject to the control of the Masonic Lodge P2, affiliated to the Grand Orient of Italy.[5]

The magazine is owned by Edizioni San Paolo, a Roman Catholic publishing group[6] and is published by Periodici San Paolo on a weekly basis.[7][8] It has its headquarters in Alba.[4]

In 1955 Famiglia Cristiana became an illustrated weekly magazine.[9]
