Europe. Period. The Information. Everything. The Voice. We. Diary of the week. The heart. Boxer. Comix. The Independent. King. Judgement. Daemon. Scandals 2000. Boss. Radiocorriere Mirror TV. Music! Rock & more. Uncle Scrooge. Parallels. Effe. Please say Kiss. ​​Baribal. They are some of the titles of newspapers and magazines whose publications were completed between 1989 and 2011, nemesis editorial, journalistic necropsy, death and passing of the mock-ups. Throughout this die-off publications, The Informer European resists. It was July 1989, and out of The Informer # 1: had 11 pages and it cost 4000 Pounds, the preparation was in Bologna, Via Fallen Kefalonia Ranked # 2 and, like most newspapers, had a cover, only a small drawing of De Pisis (The Postman bird) that advertises the imminent shipment of the newspaper, next to the articles. The pages were designed with a dummy craft, but not artificial: there was an emphasis on the left by Luca Goldoni, spirited journalist of the Corriere della Sera, caustic writer and television writer: The antichieri '50s, amused review of an Italy suddenly excited in the Economic Boom and Welfare, who suddenly re-evaluate antique furniture not as trinkets of a poor fruit, but chic relics of a past brush, the complete surprise of the junk dealers, traders used the poor, the wholly inadequate trade had grown to a luxury in such a short time. The traditional pages of this newspaper dedicated to the calendars of the markets were only two, and in the other, there were articles and chronicles of Miro Bini, poet and contributor to the Resto del Carlino, then chronicles the correspondent Florence, the Florentine journalist Maria Novella Batini present, now managing editor of Tuscany Here, and The Diary of Philip Albertoni, a painter who wrote and illustrated. The Informer was a month and was not European, but in the microscopic editorial presentation, the editor wrote:

"The task of this paper is simple: to inform (....) When we started putting together these papers did not know that the phenomenon had this big (...). We close the paper as they continue to get information and data. We will try in future to broaden the discourse to Europe, it seems only right, the '92 is close to all. "

Makes you smile, 22 years later, this reference to a near future that is now distant past, the year in which it was stipulated in the Maastricht Treaty which marked the birth of the European Union, 1992, of an unspecified, the United Europe from here, in a crisis of the single European currency, the euro.

But there is no innovation without knowledge of the tradition, and there is no future without awareness of its own memory, especially after 200 issues. In a time when journalism is increasingly self-referential touches occult (journalists who review only and always themselves, friends dealing with former friends and colleagues, dealing with colleagues and former colleagues, impartiality faziosissime) let us a liberating Article explicitly self-referential., since at this time Informer The European celebrates 200 issues.

A story that begins in 1901 when Silvio least Lombardini, grandfather of the editor in chief and publisher of this newspaper, founded The Italian registry, a fortnightly published legal information even after 110 years. Lombardini was Prefectural Commissioner, Mayor and Forli, in the first post-war journalist.

A magazine that resists these days, it is always good news, especially if it can guaranteed to have a book distribution and newsstands, with no strength but the obstinacy of an old man much younger than many young people are already old. A newspaper founded by an almost unfair that he does not believe in the order of journalists, but to turn the pages of 200 numbers (hurting your fingers), we find a good part of the cultural mainstream journalism and Italian, and that has helped launch part of the main journalists (and cultural leaders) Italians, even if maybe they do not remember or do not know to remember, "all persons who have made a great career," says Silvio Vecchietti (of course, with the exception of those who wrote ). That's basically what The Informer European: it is a magazine that deals with irrelevance.
