This article proposes a political reading of the arrival in Buenos Aires of three illustrious writers —Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, Giuseppe Ungaretti and Mario Puccini— on the occasion of the XIV International Congress of the Argentinian PEN Club. In order to discern if the intellectuals are traveling as ambassadors of Italian letters or as propagandists of the Mussolini regime, their respective travel schedules are reconstructed, conferences given during the tournées are rescued from the press’ chronicles of the time and their impressions of the host country are collected from their travel blogs.
