Ida Baccini
Ida Baccini (16 May 1850 – 28 February 1911) was an Italian writer for children. Baccini was editor-in-chief of ''Cordelia'', a journal for girls published from 1884 to 1911. The magazine was created in 1881 by Nobel Prize nominee Angelo De Gubernatis (1840–1913). On the death of Baccini in 1911, Maria Majocchi became the new editor-in-chief. According to Bloom, "the magazine, despite its success in its first years of publishing, reached a wider audience over time during the editorship of Ida Baccini and, later, that of Maria Maiocchi Plattis, better known by her pen name, Jolanda. This later success can be attributed to the ability of these two editors to create a recognizable product as well as to the relationship that they managed to establish with their young readers."
