Corriere dei Piccoli is the first Italian publication about comics. It was published weekly from 1908 to 1996. After WWII, changed its name in Giornale dei Ragazzi (from May 27, 1945 to March 24, 1946), then back again to Corriere dei Piccoli. In 1970 became Corriere dei Ragazzi until 1972, then back to Corriere dei Piccoli, and in 1993 - directed by Maria Grazia Perini - changed in Corrierino. The last issue was published on Jan. 1996. Some issues were double, such as #1/2 published Jan. 12, 1986 and followed by #3, and #17/18 published May 2, 1982 and followed by #19; or triple, such as #2/3/4 published Jan. 22, 1982 and followed by #5.
