| description | By studying the history of a family of Italian immigrants dedicated to the fabrication and circulation of counterfeit money, this article analyzes the connection between immigration and crime in fin de siècle South America. Distancing itself from the historiography that sees this nexus as being a criminalizing discourse of political, legal and medical elites, it suggests another approach: by examining the perspective of the counterfeiters themselves, new questions arise regarding the way in which immigrants related to money on the porous border between legal and illegal strategies of accumulation. The market in counterfeit money was a world of trust and mistrust, transactions and treason, ethnic solidarity and blood ties. Along with the producers, intermediaries and circulators of counterfeit money, there were other key actors such as detectives, diplomats, journalists, merchants and bank employees. These many intersections arise from the article’s primary documentary sources: police reports, newspaper articles and judicial and diplomatic archives from different cities on South America’s Atlantic coast, which document the transnational connections that shaped the rhythms of the counterfeiting business. |

Por medio de la trayectoria de una familia de italianos dedicados al negocio de la fabricación y circulación de dinero falso, este artículo revisita el problema del vínculo entre migración y delito en la América del Sur del cambio de siglo. Tomando distancia de la historiografía que aborda ese nexo como un tópico criminalizante del discurso de las elites (políticas, jurídicas y médicas), sugiere tomar otro camino: al interrogarse por la perspectiva de los propios falsificadores, surgen nuevas preguntas sobre la manera en que los inmigrantes se relacionaban con el dinero en las fronteras tenues entre estrategias legales e ilegales de acumulación. El mercado de los billetes falsos permite entrar a ese mundo atravesado por confianzas y desconfianzas, transacciones y traiciones, solidaridades étnicas y lazos de parentesco. A los fabricantes, intermediarios y circuladores de billetes falsos se le suman otros actores clave como detectives policiales, agentes diplomáticos, cronistas de la prensa, comerciantes y funcionarios de los bancos. De esos múltiples cruces surgen las principales fuentes documentales del trabajo: escritos policiales y periodísticos, archivos judiciales y diplomáticos de distintas ciudades del espacio atlántico sudamericano dan cuenta de las conexiones transnacionales que marcaban el ritmo de este negocio de la falsificación de dinero.
