L'Armonia explained
L'Armonia was an Italian language newspaper established in Turin in July 1848.[1] [2] It was established by a Catholic priest Giacomo Margotti and other priests.[1] [2] Margotti also edited it.[3] It was ultra-conservative and Catholic in orientation. Its mission was to support for the Catholic Church.[2] It was the first Italian publication to publish an account and several sections of the Book of Mormon.[4] This content was published on 1 August 1853 in a supplement.[4]
Among other causes, the paper opposed Italian unification.
