History and profile
Il Piccolo was founded by Teodoro Mayer in 1881.[1] He was also the owner and editor-in-chief of the paper.[1] Mayer and other people who were instrumental in establishment were right-wing pro-Italians.[1][2] Mayer supported the idea that Trieste was part of Italy.[1]
Il Piccolo ceased publication at the beginning of World War I.[1] In 1919 it was relaunched.[1] Until the end of World War II the paper was edited by those with fascist political leaning.[2]
