"900. Cahiers d'Italie et d'Europe," founded in Rome in 1926 by Massimo Bontempelli and Curzio Malaparte, is one of the finest expressions of European avant-garde culture in the Italian landscape between the two world wars. Initially conceived in French and aimed at an international audience, its pages featured contributions and texts by some of the leading figures of European literary modernity, from James Joyce to Virginia Woolf, from Ramón Gómez de la Serna to Il'ja Ehrenburg. Driven by the idea of a new, cosmopolitan, and anti-D'Annunzio literature, the magazine embodied Bontempelli's "Novecentismo," promoting a close dialogue between Italian culture and contemporary European artistic experiences.
