They call me Signore Tibbs!
1966 cover for La calda notte di Virgil Tibbs—better known as In the Heat of the Night—from Milan based Edizioni Mondadori for their Il Giallo Mondadori series, number 907. The cool cover art is by Carlo Jacono, who we’ll get back to in a bit.

Italian sci-fi zine has published quality fiction for more than five decades.
Arnoldo Mondadori Editore’s magazine I Romanzi di Urania first hit newstands in Italy in 1952. It helped expose Italians to veteran sci-fi writers such as Isaac Asimov, Roger Zelazny, and Robert Heinlein, and also published the work of Italian and French writers. We located a Urania archive here that contains hundreds of cover scans. It’s well worth a look. Just remember Urania doesn’t rhyme with either urine or anus. It’s pronounced oo-RAH-nia.
