摘要：Through a specific epistemological and methodological perspective, the political uses of the past, this paper aims to analyze the particular historic narrative which Italy produces at the time of fascism, with regard to its link to Latin America, particularly during the 1920’s. It’s during this decade that he interest for the south-american subcontinent makes itself particularly noticeable, amid a perspective of an increase in prestige, of the dispute for new economic markets and expectations of presence of the ‘new’ Italy in the region. Taking advantage, also, of Italian production from the liberal past and from the end of the XIX century, this paper aims at a discourse reworking and recontextualization in the form of a cognitive index of the intrinsic and ‘natural’ relationship between the Latin American nations as a whole, a proposition which fits as a mythic-symbolic of integration through an idealized past, which is often as fictitious as a mirage.
