This paper is aimed to analyze the fascist regime as a key transnational phenomenon in the political scenario of the first half of the 20th century, based on a global historiographic approach. Firstly, we review the historical trajectory of fascism in Italy, from its movement stage to the decline of Mussolini’s dictatorship, emphasizing its electoral and legislative dynamics. Immediately we bring the lens closer to the emission of the nationalist discourse and the creation of the corporative devices and the authoritarian mechanisms radiated from Rome and, finally, we reconstruct both the reception that this “third way” had in the post-revolutionary Mexican State, and its impact in the cultural and identity dynamics of the Italian diaspora of the Chipilo colony in the Mexican state of Puebla.
