Lo Stivale: Periodico d’informazione, Cultura e Sport per gli italiani dell’Alberta was an Italian-language newspaper published in Alberta.[1]

  1. ^ Lo Stivale claimed in its pages to be both the first Italian newspaper in Calgary (Letter from Peter Lougheed, Premier of Alberta, referring to "Calgary’s first Italian newspaper," Lo Stivale, April 19, 1984, pp. 1, 6) and Alberta ("Oggi nasce LO STIVALE, il PRIMO giornale degli italiani in Alberta" ["LO STIVALE is launched today, the FIRST Italian newspaper in Alberta"], advertisement, Lo Stivale, April 19, 1984, p. 1). It was, however, neither one. In Calgary it was preceded by three, and in Edmonton by six, Italian-language newspapers. See Gloria M. Strathern, Alberta Newspapers, 1880-1982: An Historical Directory, University of Alberta Press, 1988, p. 491, and Jean-Michel Lacroix, Anatomie de la presse ethnique au Canada, Presses Universitaires de Bordeaux, Centre d'etudes Canadiennes de Bordeaux, 1988, pp. 220-53.
