History

Grazia (Italia) was started in 1938.


The meaning of the name "Grazia" is "with grace" and is a firts name frequently use in the south of Italy. (see Grazia Deledda the famous writer from Sardinia) Grazia has not the same meaning of grazie (thank you).


Its British counterpart was started in 2004, to cover the market for a high-class glossy magazine, but for a weekly edition rather than a monthly edition like other glossies like Vogue, ELLE and Marie Claire. Normally weeklies in the UK, tend to be rather down-market with magazines like Women's Weekly and Take-a-Break. One of the worries of starting the magazine, was whether there would be a lack of readers. The reason is that weeklies get most of their money by the subscriptions and purchases rather than advertising, while the monthlies tend to go the other way around. However, it has gained quite an audience, helped by television advertising, with the tagline “Impatience is a virtue”. Vogue can refer to: Vogue (magazine), a fashion magazine Vogue (dance), a style of dance Melchior de Vogüé (1848-1910), French writer Vogue (single), a song and a single by KMFDM Vogue (song), a song from the album Im Breathless by Madonna Vogue, a single released by Ayumi Hamasaki...

Grazia Deledda: Voice of Sardinia (5808 words)
Grazia Deledda was to live for another ten years after receiving the Nobel Prize, years marked by a painful and slowly spreading breast cancer—the incurable malady of her protagonist Maria Concezione in the fine novel La chiesa della solitudine (The Church of Solitude).
Grazia also observed the complex rituals of marriage in the bright season, the days of paralimpos processions carrying gifts to the new home, including the mattress that would witness the birth of the couple's children and their own deaths, and the embroidered inghirialetto, the sacred bedspread of fertility and happiness.
Grazia took care of her sister's body, closing her eyes, cleaning the bed, and washing her limbs, shrouding her carefully as a bride in white.
