Ciao 2001 is an Italian monthly music magazine originally published between 1969 and 2000. It reprised its publications in 2023.
History and profile
[edit]The magazine was founded in 1969 in Rome, as the result of the fusion of the music magazines Big (later Ciao Big) and Ciao Amici.[1] In a few years, it became the most sold music magazine in Italy, mostly attracting a young audience.[1][2] Initially focused on pop music, it gradually covered all music genres, including beat, rock, jazz, and folk.[1] It also had columns devoted to radio and television, theatre, art, and psychology.[2]
After a massive success, especially in the early 1980s, the magazine suffered a long decline, which led to its first closure in 1994.[2] It first reprised its publications in 1999, rebranding itself in Ci@o for its final five issues in 2000.[1][2] In 2023, the magazine was relaunched by former collaborators Maurizio Becker and Renato Marengo.[3][4]
