translated from Spanish: Che Guevara’s birthplace is put up for sale

Uninhabited completely for almost twenty years, it was bought by entrepreneurs Francisco Farruggia and Manuel de la Rica in 2001.Mounted in the 1920s in french style, with the imprint of the architect Alejandro Bustillo and the builders Ferrarese and Cia, was recently put up for sale due to lack of coordination between the owners and neighbors of the building located between the crosses of Entre Ríos and Urquiza.

Farruggia and Rica, when buying it from the former owner, a named Repetto lady, were immediately excited about its acquisition, but because of the refusals of the building consortium, all her projects and ideas fell apart. Even Roberto Fontanarrosa and the recently deceased Hermes Binner sought to promote some cultural movement in the revolutionary’s birthplace. But the consortium, reckless of the building being filled with visitors, always refused.” My friends and I are great and we want to make room for someone to do another project,” said Horacio Baldoni, Farruggia’s lawyer and friend, to Télam.

Now, the lawyer hopes to close a good sale and leave the “Che” department to those who know how to make better use of it and, perhaps, convince the consortium to give cultural use to the rose bush house.
