ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on the diffusion of Latin American revolutionary thinking in the European far Left, with the aim of providing empirical evidence for two issues: what was disseminated and, above all, how it was disseminated and who were the political and cultural entrepreneurs who were key in this dissemination. It analyzes the role played by European far-left publishers in the late 1960s through one of the most important exponents of such entrepreneurs for the case studied here: the Italian publisher Giangiacomo Feltrinelli. The chapter demonstrates how, as a political publisher and militant, Feltrinelli played a key role in the diffusion of ideas, images, and repertoires of the Latin American revolutionary movement, first in Italy and then throughout Western Europe. At the time of his death, in March 1972, political violence had moved on from its embryonic phase and had consolidated a path that would continue at least until the end of that decade.
