List of works by Francisco Salamone
Francisco Salamone (1897–1959) was an Italian Argentine architect known for designing, in just four years, more than 60 monumental buildings in the Buenos Aires Province. He began his work in 1933 in the city of Villa María, Córdoba doing paving works, a slaughterhouse and the Centenario Square. In 1935 a new mayor was elected that started solving the municipal deficit by ending public works and accusing the former mayor of embezzlement, Salamone moved to the province of Buenos Aires.[1] There, he met the provincial governor, the conservative Manuel Fresco of the National Democratic Party.[2] He entrusted Salamone with the task of constructing different public buildings in the humid pampas, giving him full powers for his projects, which were expected to encourage the growth of small towns and cities.[3]
The majority of his work consisted of three types of constructions: city halls, cemetery portals and slaughterhouses. He also made squares, porticos, sidewalks, lights, urban furniture and furniture of the municipal palaces. During this period he only built two private homes.
When the administration of Governor Fresco ended in 1940, Salamone moved with his family to Buenos Aires City. In 1943 he had to go into exile in Uruguay after being accused of corruption in a paving work in San Miguel de Tucumán. After the charges were withdrawn, he returned to Argentina where he directed multiple urban paving works and only worked on two buildings of rationalist style and a private house.[4]
