Abstract

The purpose of this article is to analyze the phenomenon of Italian neo-fascist migration in Paraguay since 1977. After outlining the Paraguayan context during the dictatorship of Alfredo Stroessner, attention will be devoted to some elements that characterized the Italian presence in Paraguay; in particular, the granting of political asylum, the creation of an international economic investment center in the lands of Chaco and the elimination of the criminal past of immigrant terrorists. The sources used come from the Archives of Terror in Asunción, Paraguay and the House of Memory in Brescia, Italy.
