Il Verri was started by Luciano Anceschi in Milan in 1956. The magazine is published on a quarterly basis. Its headquarters is in Milan. However, in 1973 it temporarily moved to Bologna.
In the early 1960s Il Verri began to cover the writings of neo avant garde authors, including Umberto Eco, Edoardo Sanguineti, Antonio Porta and Nanni Balestrini. They were part of a literary circle called Gruppo 63. The magazine played a significant role for Umberto Eco in shaping his theories. Luciano Erba and Alfredo Giuliani were also among the contributors.
From its start in 1956 Il Verri has been instrumental in making some approaches familiar in Italy such as phenomenology, structuralism and semiology. The magazine also covers poems and in 1961 Luciano Anceschi collected them in a book.
