As Rosario Pinto and Giovanni Cardone say: With the end of the First World War, a period of reflection opens on what had been the climate of the avant-garde of the early twentieth century and the opportunity for a recovery of values that characterized the period was considered previous one. This does not mean that a return to the past is suggested, but rather a 'return to order', where with this phrase it can be pointed out the need for a regulatory prescription that constitutes a valid legal orientation. Therefore, the return to order is a cultural climate that pervades the whole of Europe and finds, in particular in Italy, a decisive junction with the birth of the magazine "Valori Plastici", around which a core of intellectuals and of artists who will direct the cultural course of the decades between the two world wars. We have intended to reflect on these things, considering the significance of the political and social history of these crucial years, highlighting the role of isolated groups and personalities of artists, reasoning on the incidence of magazines and finally enlightening unpublished or little known aspects of artistic culture .
