1938

Spring, leaves Bertoldo for its rival, Settebello, where he is a member of the editorial board. First cartoon published on April 23.

September, the first of the Mussolini regime’s racial laws promulgated, ordering the expulsion of foreign Jews; an exception is later made for university students, who can remain until their degrees are completed. ST also can no longer work for Settebello; his last cartoon there is published on September 10. By November, Jews are banned from most professions.

Cartoon published in <em>Settebello</em>, September 3, 1938. “With this perfect telescope, I see Europe, my city, my house, and through the window myself looking at the world through the telescope while speaking with you; but I don’t hear what I’m saying.”
