Abstract

Eva Perón’s trip to Italy in the summer of 1947 has prompted this research about the development of links between the Italian and the Argentine film industries in the years immediately following the Second World War. Our work takes a historical approach to this topic through the analysis of different film types (movies, newsreels and documentaries), supported by other documents derived from periodical publications, such as newspapers and specialized magazines. It concludes that while at the time of Evita’s trip there was an economic agreement between both governments that consisted of shipping grains in exchange for encouraging the migration of skilled Italian workers who could carry out the economic plans devised by Perón, in the film industry, there was an attempt to attract top class Italian actors and directors in order to secure the growth of the budding Argentine film industry.
