According to Eva Mameli's testimony, the wife and colleague of the scientist and agronomer Mario Calvino, Italo Calvino's parents, it was the mexican Embassador Joaquín Casasús who during a trip to Italy became acquainted with the then young italian profesor Calvino, and invited him to work in México, as Jefe de la División de Horticultura de la Estación Agraria Central. The recently restored “Expediente Sra. Eva Mameli de Calvino” in Cuba, gives the autor the possibility to document the years spent in Latinoamerica of the Calvino matrimony, pioneers in botanical and agricultural studies in México since 1909 and in Cuba since 1917.
