The synergy that exists between a city like Tacna, designated to play the unique role of a symbol of patriotic loyalty, and the large number of historians born here is curious. If we only list the names of those who have made history one of their preferences and have ventured into it in one way or another (in all its various expressions and particularities), we would occupy the size of this column.
The interest in history seems to have been the path first opened by Modesto Basadre Chocano (1816-1905). Then came José Belisario Gómez (1840-?), about whom there is still much to investigate and reveal. He was joined by the great man from Arica, Rómulo Cúneo Vidal (1856-1931), who produced a large and varied body of work. Very close in time was Carlos Wiesse Portocarrero (1859-1945), who is considered the first great historian of Tacneño.
Then alternate the contribution of Fortunato Zora Carvajal (1894-1981) and his colorful local wealth; Carlos Nalvarte Zevallos (1898-1991) and his experiences and the testimony of Guillermo Auza Arce (1899-1978); the great portrait gallery left to us by Carlos Alberto González Marín (1900-1984); the huge and brilliant research of the “Historian of the Republic” Jorge Basadre Grohmann (1903-1980) and the teaching contribution of Gustavo Pons Muzzo (1916-2008) throughout the national territory. Add Arturo Jiménez Borja’s (1908-2000) involvement in national history.
I have deliberately not included historians born after 1929, but I cannot fail to mention its highest expression: Luis Cavagnaro Orellana.
