The journal Comunità actually preceded the official founding of the movement and was started in Rome in March 1946 with the subtitle "Giornale Mensile di Politica e Cultura". This first series ran for six issues, through October 1946. In April 1947, publication transferred to Torino and ran for 26 issues, printed weekly and then biweekly through December 1947. The third series began in Ivrea in 1949, and ran until 1992. A rare large consecutive group of this journal, with scarce early issues included.
