Leopoldo "Leo" Longanesi (30 August 1905 – 27 September 1957) was an Italian journalist, publicist, screenplayer, playwright, writer, and publisher. Longanesi is mostly known in his country for his satirical works on Italian society and people. He also founded the eponymous publishing house in Milan in 1946 and was a mentor-like figure for Indro Montanelli (a journalist and historian, and the founder of Il Giornale, one of Italy's biggest newspapers).[1][2][3]
Between 1927 and 1950, he published several magazines, including L'Italiano (1926), Omnibus (1937), and Il Borghese (1950), the last of which is a cultural and satirical weekly paper with conservative orientation.[4] Longanesi described himself as a "cultural anarchist",[5][6] and he headed a popular right-wing group,[7] which embraced conservatism,[8][9] agrarian virtues,[10] anti-democracy, and nostalgic post-fascism after World War II.[11][12][13]
Longanesi was an elegant and refined cartoonist who wrote several books of memoirs, characterised by a ruthless streak and Italian fascist nostalgic accents (In piedi e seduti, Una vita, and Ci salveranno le vecchie zie?).[14]
