Italia contemporanea is a four-monthly, fully peer-reviewed academic journal. It was founded in 1949 as Il movimento di liberazione in Italia (The liberation movement in Italy) by the National Institute for the History of the Liberation Movement in Italy (now National Institute ‘Ferruccio Parri’, named after its founder and based in Milan) and took its current title in 1974. From an initial focus on the Italian Resistance, the Second World War and Fascism, Italia contemporanea has increasingly broadened its scope, so as to embrace the entire history of Italy in the 20th and 21st centuries, with a particular focus on the Republican period up to recent years. The journal is open to all areas of historical writing (social, economic, cultural, political and institutional, as well as gender-related and national/racial identity issues). It encourages fresh approaches and methodological awareness, together with transnational and comparative perspectives on Italian history. The journal is made up of three sections: Studies and Research, presenting original research based on primary sources; Notes and Discussions, devoted to historiographical reviews and debates, as well as reports on national and foreign archival records; an extensive and updated Bibliographical Review. Since 2016, this section and two selected research articles (double-blind peer reviewed, as all the other printed ones) are published open access.
