Il Marzocco was an Italian language weekly literary and art magazine which was published in Florence, Italy, between 1896 and 1932.
The title was chosen by Gabriele D'Annunzio which was a reference to the symbol of the ancient Republic of Florence and also, of the popular rule.
Its subtitle was periodico settimanale di letteratura e d'arte (Italian: Weekly literary and arts periodical).
