The colonisation projects of Guglielmo Godio and Ricciotti Garibaldi and the political, economic and journalistic interconnections between Italy and Argentina (late 19th century - early 20th century)
Abstract
In this paper we make some reflections and considerations on two contemporary colonisation projects presented to the Argentine government in 1898 and 1899 by two very different personalities: Ricciotti Garibaldi, son of the Hero of the Two Worlds, and the Piedmontese lawyer Guglielmo Godio, an interesting and multifaceted figure of entrepreneur, explorer and intellectual very common in late nineteenth-century Italy. Due to the social status of the two proponents, their political support at the highest level in Italy and Argentina and the breadth of objectives and interests involved, the two projects became a valuable point of ob-servation for some of the protagonists of the ethnic press and the Italian community in Argentina at that end of the century.
En este trabajo presentamos algunas reflexiones y consideraciones sobre dos proyectos contemporáneos de colonización presentados al gobierno argentino en 1898 y 1899 por dos personalidades muy diferentes: Ricciotti Garibaldi, hijo del Héroe de los Dos Mundos, y el abogado piamontés Guglielmo Godio, interesante y polifacética figura de empresario, explo-rador e intelectual muy común en la Italia de finales del siglo XIX. Por el estatus social de los dos proponentes, su apoyo político al más alto nivel en Italia y Argentina y la amplitud de los objetivos e intereses que implicaban, los dos proyectos se convierten en un valioso punto de observación de unos protagonistas del mundo de la prensa étnica y de la comunidad italiana en Argentina de aquella época finisecular.
