These are periodicals sold only at newsstands or through subscriptions. I'm not 100% sure, but I think they fall under this category:
"Periodicals without ISBNs but substantially similar to books, defined as literary magazines valuably contributing to or dedicated to literature, regardless of binding."
Here is the series' website: https://www.ivoltidelmale.it/
https://edicola.shop (the site mentioned in these requests and also in other incomplete requests in this thread) is an online retailer for newsstand materials, so I don't think it can be used for the covers.
What do you think? Are they valid book records? And if so, should I add them without covers?

I think you're right. So then the question is, is it a literary magazine? This is what I post/use:
"As this is a magazine, there are some criteria to make sure it is valid for Goodreads. It should be at least one of A or B:Furthermore, I don't think that website is an acceptable source. Unless they are also a publisher. In that case, only if the book is published by them, those pages on the website can be used. Example, Barnes & Nobles is not a website we can use, unless a book is published by Barnes & Nobles Press.
A. It has an ISBN or B. It is a literary magazine.
To check if a magazine is a literary magazine it should have all three:
1. Wikipedia says it is literary magazine, not about culture in general
2. The authors of this magazine have published books
3. This magazine is mentioned on literary sites
Can you provide links that show that this is a literary magazine?
Great that you are helping here!!
