Summary/Abstract: The ability of literature to provide a narrative of migration, to reveal, in its specific ways, what lies behind official historical truths, and to thus be a fundamental tool for knowledge, emerges clearly in the migratory dynamics between Italy and Argentina, and in particular in the overlapping of different migratory movements over time. First Italian emigrants crossed the Atlantic, writing literary testimonies in Spanish, the language of their destination country, while more recently Argentinians have emigrated to Italy and written texts in Italian.
