Thebook (almost 500 pages) is a scholarly study of the topic by Fernando Devoto, a history professor at the University of Buenos Aires who for more than 25 years has been researching Italian immigration to Argentina. Yet, the book is still very readable and informative for anyone interested in this topic.
The book starts with the early migration under Rosas but focuses on the height of Italian immigration to Argentina in the late 1800s and early 1900s. An entire chapter is devoted to the institutions of the Italians in Argentina, e.g, the mutual associations, hospitals, and clubs. There are numerous short profiles of Italian-Argentine intellectuals, scientists, and professionals that contributed to the development of Argentina. Also, a section covers the role of Italians in the Argentine left, the workers movement, and anarchism. Later chapters cover the period between the two world wars (which includes a section on fascism and Italian communities in Argentina), and the last chapter is from 1945 to the present.
My Italian grandfather immigrated to Buenes Aires in 1949/50 from Villanova, I am trying to find out what happened to him as last contact was in 1950. He was a prisoner of war in Scotland during world war 2 and had a daughter with a local girl, regular correspondance was received until the end of 1950. Any help would be appreciated, thanks Martin

Eugenio Rossi Lanzoni was born in Filonica, Italy and immigrated to Argentina about 1900, became a citizen then immigrated to USA. Is there any immigration records in Argentina and ship manifests showing who was on the ships from Italy?
Eugenio had a brother (possibly was Vincenzio) who stayed in Argentina and I would like to find any relations that we have there. How can I find info.

A lot of Italians emigrated to Argentina during and after World War II. I know some of them personally & can confirm that not all were fascists or Mussolini sympathizers. (Yet, of course, there were a number that were and fascism did receive a welcoming embrace in Argentina.) However, many Italians simply came here for economic reasons: Argentina, at that time, had a much better economy. Plus, Argentina already had a large tradition of Italian immigrants, so Buenos Aires was a very easy place for Italians to fit in. Unless your great uncle was a member of a pro-fascist organization or had written about the topic, then whatever anyone says is mere speculation.
Families were often split in the Italian emmigration of the late 1800s and early 1900s. My aunts husband came the the United States, but he had a brother who went to Argentina. The family name was originally Andreano. His real first name was Pellegrino, but he went by Joseph here in the U.S. He came from the town of Molinaro, Benevento, Campania.

I am interested in finding my roots . I have been tracing my family tree it has led me to my grandfather who was born January 8, 1891 and his brothers Gennaro, Francesco, Vincenzo and Raffaele.
I think Gennaro went to Argentina first and was followed by Francesco and maybe Vincenzo and Raffaele and finaly by my grandfather Bruno Amendola , I Know my grandfather went back to Cosenza Italy but did spend a few years with his brthers in Argentina , his brothers stayed and live in Argentina. I am pretty sure they settled in Buenos Aries .
My grandfather and his brothers who went to Buenos Aries Argentina Came from a town called Fiumefreddo Bruzio possiblely an area called
( piro or San biase or Longobardi ) Cosenza Italy between 1900 and 1930 .
If anyone has information that could fill in some blanks for me, I would greatly appreciate their help.

Hi
I am tracing my grandmother (nonna) who immigrated to Argentina during WWII. Her name is Francesca Skamperle from Senozece Yugoslavia. Born 27-1-1911 and died 24-7-1995. I believe her brother was also in Argentina and his name is Franc. My father went to school in Trieste I believe.
