 Frusta letteraria (magazine)

Frusta letteraria ("The literary whip") was a fortnightly periodical founded in Venice in 1763, directed and written almost entirely by Giuseppe Baretti, under the pseudonym of "Aristarchus Scannabue".Published between 1763 and 1765, the magazine obtained a great success, especially for the polemical shots and the bright tones with which Baretti expressed his opinions towards numerous writers, his contemporaries or the past.
