Description
Beneath the illustration is the line: "since in Europe peoples have opened their eyes, let's go to the United States where we will find people sleeping and lots of money."
L'Asino (The Donkey) was an Italian magazine of political satire founded in Rome in 1892, by Guido Podrecca (1865–1923) and Gabriele Galantara (1867–1937), a former mathematics student, designer and cartoonist, both with a socialist background. The two took the pseudonyms "Goliardo" (Podrecca) and "Ratalanga" (Galantara), and with these nicknames signed the outputs of the weekly.
The magazine's title was from a saying of Francesco Domenico Guerrazzi that said that "the donkey is like the people: useful, patient and stubborn" (in Italian: "come il popolo è l'asino: utile, paziente e bastonato), which became the subtitle and the motto of the editors.
After 1901, the magazine started to target the Catholic Church and became the leading anticlerical journal. As a result, the magazine was banned from Vatican City. In 1904 L'Asino reached a circulation of 60,000, which rose to 100,000 before 1912.
The magazine circulated widely among Italian immigrants in the United States. Due to its anticlerical and alleged pornographic content the papal nuncio in Washington D.C. succeeded to get it banned from entry in 1908. However, the ban was circumvented by printing an American edition in New York City. There is also a back page colored illustration (also pictured).
