Arturo Joaquín Pellerano Alfau (1864–1935) was a Dominican Republic merchant, publisher, and journalist.
He, along with Julian Atiles, founded Listín Diario, the leading newspaper of the Dominican Republic, in 1889.
During the US military intervention of 1916-24, he maintained a nationalistic line of constant protest.
[2] During Rafael Trujillo's reign, his newspaper office was attacked and he and his family were detained due to his decidedly Anti-Trujillo political views.
His family remained connected with the Diario until Banco Intercontinental bought it in 2003.
