History and profile
Il Piccolo was founded by Teodoro Mayer in 1881.[1] He was also the owner and editor-in-chief of the paper.[1] Mayer and other people who were instrumental in the establishment of the paper were right-wing pro-Italians.[1][2] Mayer supported the idea that Trieste was part of Italy.[1]
