Vie Nuove (Italian: New Ways) was a weekly popular magazine published in Rome, Italy, between 1946 and 1978.
[3] Another function of the magazine was to develop and disseminate a positive image of the Soviet Union focusing on its technical superiority over the Western capitalist countries.
[11] Italian director Pier Paolo Pasolini published his writings in a column in the magazine in which he also replied the questions of readers concerning literature, religion, Marxist theory, among others.
[13] The magazine valued the female movie stars of the 1950s, including Gina Lollobrigida, Silvana Mangano and Sophia Loren and frequently covered articles about them.
[14] However, it was against photoromances arguing that these were the tools for bourgeois and capitalist propaganda which mortified women due to the fact they were sexually objectified in their photographs.
