Velvet. percorsi di altro rock, cinema e cultura (Velvet. Paths of other rock, cinema and culture), often known only by the name of Velvet, was a monthly magazine with a predominantly musical character launched in October 1988 by many collaborators who left Il Mucchio Selvaggio. The magazine concluded its first phase of publishing life with the #26, of November 1990. The second with a slightly different editorial line (the subtitle Bible of fun & enlightenment is significant), was launched in January 1991 and ended, with issue 10, in October of same year. In the third and final phase, after issue 11 of November 1991, Velvet radically changed its approach, becoming a magazine of reviews only. The definitive closure took place with n.17 of June 1992.
