| The gazettes began to appear in Italy
at the beginning of the XVII century, but saw their
greatest spreading period only in the XVIII century. In
fact the first gazette came out in Florence on
1636. The publication of journals in Italy was in a first time supported by princes and governors, who needed to involve in their reformist projects all the most important social and economical classes and used them to spread politically manipulated news.

In the 1763 the Gazzetta Veneta was replaced by La Frusta Letteraria created by Giuseppe Baretti, who attacked, through the character of Aristarco Scannabue, the political authority provoking his expulsion from Venezia. The final mark to the Italian journalism was given by Pietro and Alessandro Verri, Cesare Beccaria with their manifest of Enlightenment Il Caffè |
