BABILONIA SPECIALE FOTO ~ Italian Magazine published by Babilonia Edizioni , and is the supplement to Issue #87 of Speciale Foto This issue features the photography of the photographer Nigel Hatton. IMPORTANT NOTE: I really cannot tell you very much about this magazine & issue because it's all an Italian, and this particular title - Babilonia Speciale Foto -- pretty much is pretty much entirely photos with no information of year or anything. What information I have is that which I have researched. For instance, one weird thing is that the cover seems to indicate that this issue came out in 1982. However, the magazine was founded in 1982 and this is supposed to be a supplement to issue number 87 of another one of their magazines. SOLD FOR EDUCATIONAL/ HISTORIC PURPOSES ONLY!! BABILONIA SPECIALE FOTO was a special, standalone photo-supplement series published by Babilonia, a pioneering and highly influential Italian LGBTQ+ magazine founded in Milan in 1982. Running primarily during the 1980s and 1990s, the specials served as an important outlet for queer photography, physique art, and visual art. This is an issue Babilonia Speciale Foto , a spin-off publication from the historic Italian LGBT magazine Babilonia . Publication: When I used Google translate, it states that this is the supplement to issue "Babilonia Speciale Foto" No. 87 . Publisher: It was published by Babilonia Edizioni , a Milan-based house that was central to Italian gay culture for nearly three decades. Content: When I used Google translate, it stated that "A Nudo" is Italian for "naked" or "bare" and that "Gli Inglesi Vista da" means ""The English as seen by [Nigel Hatton]." Also, I'm finding that based on the magazine's monthly schedule starting in early 1983, issue #87 would have been released around 1990 . However, another source states this game out a 1982. I tend to believe that it's 1990, because with my other magazines it would really make no sense for the 1982 issue had #87. Period: The magazine had its "Golden Era" in the 1990s, when it reached peak circulation in Italian newsstands. The cover price listed is 12,000 Lire , placing its release in the late 1990s, just before Italy transitioned to the Euro in 2002. ABOUT BABILONIA Founded in 1982, Babilonia was Italy's first monthly magazine dedicated to the gay community to be distributed nationwide in newsstands. It played a major role in LGBT activism and culture, featuring contributions from prominent writers like Pier Vittorio Tondelli.
