History and profile
Abitare was launched in Milan in 1961 by Piera Peroni.[3][4][5] It was devoted to architecture, interior design, furniture, product design and graphic arts and was published both in Italian and English.[6]
In 1976, the magazine was sold to Segesta Publishing group.[7] Later it became part of the RCS Group and began to be published by RCS MediaGroup.[8]
Shortly after the founding of the magazine, postwar architect, Eugenio Gentili Tedeschi joined Peroni. In addition to writing for the magazine, he later served as acting de facto editor-in-chief with Franca Santi.[3] Stefano Boeri, Chiara Maranzana, Mario Piazza and Maria Giulia Zunino were among the editors-in-chief of the magazine.[4][7][9]
The magazine momentarily ceased print publication in March 2014.[5] However, its online version continued to publish content.[5] The magazine was relaunched in October 2014 with a new format and new graphics under the direction of Silvia Botti. [10]
