The Spectatorial Press in Italian. Case...

The contribution focusses on the earliest autonomous forms of Spectator-type periodicals in the Italian peninsula and, specifically, in Venice around the mid-18th century. Its main focus lies on the "Gazzetta Veneta" (176-1762), a periodical issued by the Venetian count Gasparo Gozzi (1713-1789). During the second year of its publication period (1761-1762), after Gozzi's resignation, the editorship of the "Gazzetta" passes to the abbot and novelist Pietro Chiari, who changes the style of this journalistic venture.
