Guareschi case

In 1950 a cartoon published in Candido (n. 25 of 18 June), drawn by Carletto Manzoni, cost Giovannino Guareschi, co-director of the weekly at the time, his first conviction for contempt of the President of Italy, Luigi Einaudi. The cartoon, entitled Al Quirinale, depicted a double row of bottles with, at the bottom, the figurine of a man with a stick, like a great officer reviewing two groups of Corazzieri ("The Corazzieri" was the caption of the cartoon). Candido had highlighted the fact that Einaudi, on the labels of the wine he produced (a Nebbiolo), allowed his public office as President of Italy to be highlighted. The bottle of wine, in fact, had "Nebbiolo, the President's wine" on the label. There were also other cartoons, besides the Al Quirinale one, such as the one of the Giro d'Italia with the motto "Toast Einaudi!" or the little man who had the "bottle of Damocles" on his head. Sentenced to eight months in prison, the execution of the sentence was suspended as Guareschi had no criminal record.
