Main Article Content

Maria Teresa Monterisi

Abstract

This research aims at reconstructing Eugenio Troisi’s intelectual route, in order to analyze his contribution to the cultural, political and ideological debate that accompanied the modernization of Argentina from the end of the eighties to the middle of the forties.

He is a writer and journalist from Gorizia, who emigrated to Córdoba in 1889 and then established in Buenos Aires. By Reading his journalistic writings, books and personal mail we have tried to recognize which position he held in the field of ideas and the political practice, with his rich ideological and cultural background that, when he arrived, consisted of the French Naturalism, the principles of the Risorgimento and his admiration for Garibaldis’ epic. In addition, it is worth to add his political experience as a member of the anarchist Franco-Italian circles.
