El franquismo y los imaginarios míticos del fascismo europeo de entreguerras
This article raises a series of reflections centered on the biggest or minor grade of fascistization experienced by the Francoist regime during the first stage of its implantation. Also, it carries a trip out for the phenomena of spread and contamination with which the mythical imaginaries, and the idealized recreations of the fascism, impregnated the different authoritarian and anti-parliamentary regimes that were erected in Europe during the interwar period.

An Italian Communist in the Spain of the 1960s: The Worthless Journey of Rossana Rossanda
This chapter analyzes the view of the Italian communist intellectual Rossana Rossanda on Spain during the Francoist dictatorship, splitting from the trip she made in that country in 1962, envoy by the bureau of Partito Comunista Italiano (PCI). The study analyzes the links established by Rossanda with the members of the anti-Francoist opposition in the main Spanish cities, as well as her considerations about the nature of the Franco regime and the political situation of the country. The information collected and the considerations elaborated by Rossanda—published later in the 1980s—constituted a heritage of knowledges that was decisive for the PCI to interpret the Spanish situation in the following decades, even after Rossanda, in 1968, went out of the Party.
