Yes Yes Yes Revolutionary Press in Italy investigates the Italian scene of revolutionary press "organs" in the form of newspapers, magazines, cyclostyled publications, bulletins, pamphlets, some daily newspapers others periodicals, often irregular, others sporadic, many single issues repeatedly awaiting authorization... The feverish typographic activity is linked to the intense political-ideological, antagonistic, and counter-cultural struggles of a period striving for civil spaces, areas of freedom, and social creativity. This volume critically surveys and selects more than 600 printed materials released between 1966 and 1977. This research is the natural continuation of the substantial publication, released in 2014 and edited by the same publishers: Yes Yes Yes, Alternative press, 66-77 from Provo to Punk, curated by Emanuele De Donno and Amedeo Martegani. That first volume examined the role of alternative, underground, and countercultural European and American press during a flourishing period: 1966-1977; this new edition focuses on the Italian scene, whose extensive strategy of "collusion" and fragmented regional geography have necessitated, for thematic analysis, a broadened view of alternative media, not only underground, independent, and countercultural, but also of counter-information, "aligned" publishing, ultra-radical political and ideological. The substantial core of publications listed in the prolific Italian network, which also extends to the provinces, has been gathered thanks to contributions from archives online, collectors, enthusiasts, publishers, and activists from all over Italy, constituting a submerged geography of Italian countercultural publishing but also of a resistant and reasoned collecting. These printed media document a search for radical culture, authors and co-authors, promoters/artists of free and alternative culture, distributed in boundary-pushing and experimental formats.
