ArteSettima launches print magazine Issue Zero after nine years as digital platform

Founded in 2016, ArteSettima is an Italian cinema platform that launched its inaugural print magazine, Issue Zero, in the fall of 2025. Originally a web-magazine, it has transformed into a cultural hub encompassing podcasts, social media, events, and now a tangible publication. The magazine was unveiled by founder Andrea Vailati in Milan, who noted its beginnings as a blog. Emphasizing living hermeneutics over traditional academic critique, the shift to print signifies a deliberate focus on physicality and permanence. Developed over eighteen months, Issue Zero includes an interview with director Terry Gilliam and delves into Surrealism, a 'Manifesto of Allegorical Realism' in contemporary Italian cinema, and science fiction, all presented with striking graphics and layouts. ArteSettima continues to engage audiences digitally across various media.
