Rumore (lit.'Noise') is an Italian monthly music magazine founded in 1992. It has been described as 'one among the most influential voices of alternative music in Italy'.[1]

History and profile

The magazine was founded in Turin in 1992.[1][2] Founders were Claudio Sorge and Max Stefani, who left the project almost immediately, and the editorial staff mostly consisted of former Rockerilla's journalists.[1] Their objective was 'to create a magazine with a modern slant, using a language that was less "fanzine-style" and more professional'.[2]

The magazine covers various genres including rock, punk, crossover, hip hop and electric music, giving equal attention to both underground and mainstream scenes.[1] It also covers cinema, literature, comics and television.[2] In 2013, Sorge left the direction, being replaced by Perturbazione drummer and founding member Rossano Lo Mele as editorial director.[1][2][3]
