Bertoldo was a biweekly magazine of surreal humour that ran from 14 July 1936 to 10 September 1943 under Italian Fascism. The magazine was based in Milan.^[1] While the Becco Giallo magazine put out courageous political satire against the fascist regime, the reactionary authors of Bertoldo, like Marcello Marchesi, as well as Marc'Aurelio, developed a kind of surreal humour that was accepted by the regime.^[2]^[3]

Some of the best young artists and writers worked on the magazine.^[4] Among them were the popular author Giovannino Guareschi (1908–1968), and the Romanian Jewish architect-student (later famous American cartoonist) Saul Steinberg (1914–1999).^[5] Guareschi edited the magazine from 1936 to 1943.^[1]

Bertoldo was succeeded by another satirical magazine, Candido.^[6]
