TV Sorrisi e Canzoni (Italian for "television, smiles and songs") is an Italian weekly magazine that is distributed in Italy as a TV program guide , music and film magazine.
history
The magazine goes back to the publisher Agostino Campi, who together with his father Giuseppe and his sons owned a publishing house in Foligno (today Editoriale Campi ) that specialized in publications in the field of popular music. In 1952 they founded Sorrisi e Canzoni d'Italia , which mainly contained reports on singers, the radio program and the official song texts of the just started Sanremo Festival . In the first few years, the magazine managed to gain great popularity through reader interaction (such as surveys). At that time it consisted of 20 black and white pages. The name was initially shortened to Sorrisi e Canzoni , with the increasing importance of the medium of television, finally changed to TV Sorrisi e Canzoni ; In terms of content, the television program was then added.
In the 1960s, with colored covers for the first time, TV Sorrisi e Canzoni became the most widely read magazine in Italy. In addition to the Campi brothers (the sons of Agostino, who died in 1962), Rizzoli also got into the business. A brief renaming to TV Illustrazione at the end of the 1960s did not meet with any approval, whereupon the previous name was resumed. In 1973 journalist Gigi Vesigna took over the editorial office and led a. a. the Superclassifiche ( music charts ) or the award of the Telegatto . In 1984 Silvio Berlusconis Fininvest bought the magazine.
