Grazia[a] (stylized as GRAZIA) is a weekly women's magazine that originated in Italy. It has international editions printed in 28 countries.[b] History and profile The Italian edition of Grazia was first published by Mondadori in November 1938.[7] Mondadori started the magazine to compete with Lei, a women's magazine published by the Rizzoli company.[8] Grazia was modelled on the American magazine Harper's Bazaar.[9] The start of Grazia was a return in Italy to traditionalist values such as cooking and child-rearing.[10] During the fascist rule in the country the magazine followed the Fascist policies and propaganda.[10] Following World War II the magazine was renewed, but its conservative stance remained.[10] Its conservatism continued during the late 1960s in that although miniskirts were featured in the fashion pages, these garments were commented from a conservative perspective in its social commentaries.[11] From its beginning in 1938 to September 1943, Bruno Munari served as the art director for the magazine and for another Mondadori title, Tempo.[12] In Italy it is owned by Mondadori[7][13] which later became one of Silvio Berlusconi's companies.[14] Grazia published an article in July 2015 that promoted the breeding of family pets to make money with a statement from the British Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) critical of Grazia.[15] International editionsGrazia has international editions in several countries.[16] Its first international edition was published in Bulgaria in March 2004.[17] The British edition of the magazine began publication in February 2005[16] and is owned in the UK under licence by Bauer Consumer Media.
