Abstract

This paper deals with the history of an Argentinian publishing house called Editorial Abril, which was founded in 1941 by Cesare Civita, a Jewish immigrant who left Italy after the «race laws» approval. Abril published cartoons (Donald Duck), photo novels (Idilio), women's magazines (Claudia) and news magazines (Panorama). Abril was a family business which knew how to use a wide relation network in Argentina, Italy and the United States. The history of this publishing house ends with Cesare Civita's new exile in 1976. The material used includes file sources, testimonies, journals and books.
