“…Another interesting example of the symbolic use of the navy is the Nave Italia, a commercial ship that was fitted out by Italy in 1924 and headed to South America. 20 The aim of this ship was to promote commercial relations and contacts with the numerous Italian migrant communities in the New World. According to Laura Moure Cecchini, it was also an early attempt to spread fascist ideology in the Atlantic world, as is also argued by Laura Fotia.…”

The aim of this article is to analyse the identity-making role played by the maritime factor in promoting the international picture of the young Finnish republic by using the case study of the frigate Suomen Joutsen on its international voyages from 1931 to 1939. The rituals of naval diplomacy meant that the political, diplomatic and commercial authorities of the nations visited were brought on board the ship and contacts were made with the recently established Finnish consular network. In addition to such contacts, the extensive use of the press and radio was an important factor in promoting the young Finnish republic. Moreover, in countries with important communities of Finnish emigrants, contacts were made with those groups. Finally, with a floating exhibition of Finnish products on board, it was possible to establish commercial relations. Hence, the international cruises of the Suomen Joutsen were fundamental channels for the representation of the young Finnish nation.

“…The air force was not the only corps mobilized: as Fabio De Ninno (2019) has shown, the navy and merchant marine played a far from secondary role in propaganda activities abroad. Beginning with the mission of the ship "Italia," which reached the shores of Latin America in 1924 (Fotia, 2017;Moure Cecchini, 2016), naval cruises, always conceived in stages, had wide appeal; these initiatives were intended to build a bridge between the peninsula and various international interlocutors, involve communities of Italian origin, and offer an itinerant compendium of innovations in production and trade.…”

Desde sus orígenes el fascismo mostró su naturaleza expansiva, de manera espontánea en un principio y bajo el auspicio del gobierno de Roma después, a través de los Fasci Italiani all'Estero. El Caribe hispano no fue inmune a este proceso y, desde mediados de la década de los años 20 por medio de los inmigrantes italianos, tomó parte de un ared que conectaba sus corazones italianos a la lejana Madre Patria. Desde Roma se organizó el Fascio de las Antillas, que agrupaba a Cuba, República Dominicana y Puerto Rico y, a pesar de que el número de inmigrantes italianos no pueda compararse al de otras regiones, no hay que perder de vista las ventajas geoestratégicas que presentaba la región para el gobierno fascista italiano. Apoyándose principalmente en las relaciones familiares y comerciales, el fascismo se difundió por las Antillas Mayores.
