capital Buenos Aires is South America where they have come together, from the conquest and demographic fluctuations, different currents migratory and therefore has certain buildings that evoke the places of origin to their builders imagined, either by a melancholy reminiscence overseas, a mere symbolism or political allegiance.
Although migration is currently occurring on a larger scale, it is clear that the type of construction or replica style reminiscent to the place of origin is little reproduced anywhere in the world, except that time in ethnic neighborhoods targeted the Far East of the big western cities, where it is more noticeable (eg Chinese, or Korean neighborhoods in Buenos Aires or Islamist-rooted neighborhoods in London.) Of course that in comparison with the beginning of the century buildings, the architectural features low output current drawn by the current migratory flows obey different contexts, when the concepts of state and nation were in full training at the beginning of the twentieth century (and a little back too) and posed to reveal the emergence of certain trends or political-social.

} While the legend of Romulus and Remus is the most widely used worldwide, it is worth reviewing a piece of it from one of the most memorable prose writers of Rome, both for his poetry as its theme, the book Fasti of Ovid is indispensable source for researchers, mythographers and curious life of Rome and the early empire, as Ovid lived during the reign of Augustus, shortly after the death of Caesar, when the city and began their areas of influence (while) not only away from the republican era, but also to expand through weapons and refinement even more overwhelming civilization. Ovid review
masterfullyWhen the reason for the feast day of the Luperci (15 February), an ancient festival "Pagan" who has a derivation of the name "Lupercal" as a place where "... the vestal Silvia gave birth to a blue fruit, when his paternal uncle ran the kingdom. This small ordered into the river and drown. What are you doing that? One of them is Romulus. The servants fulfill the order reluctantly deplorable, but the twins are crying to the place tidy. The Albula, which became the Tiber because Tiberino had dived into the waves, was casually grown winter waters. Here, where now lies the forums and your valley, Circus Maximus, the boats could be seen giving laps. When they got there (they could not go further), said one or another of them: "But how alike they are! How beautiful you both! However, this is the one most effective of the two. If the breed is seen on the face, and the appearance does not deceive, I suspect you do not know what god is ... Now, if some god was the author of your existence, I would help in a very critical time. Also your mother I would help, if it were needed, that in a single day has been a mother and left no children.

The casket, driven from dark forests, stopped at the mud with a decrease in water flow.

No harm is low, they even make a profit: A wolf who fed the hands relatives were able to try to lose! He stopped, and the tail caressed the tender young, and with his tongue licking the figure of the two bodies. Could be known they were sons of Mars were not afraid. They pull the udder and are fed using milk that was not promised. She named the place, and where, in turn, the Luperci . Great is the prize that has the mother for the milk they gave ...

here as E Ovid tells of the origin myth of the greatness and militancy that support office of Rome. As highlighted in this small sample, his poetry, the drama of the sentencing decision of the twins, and that story so often repeated in the old (despite the fragmented stories that come to us at present) from the basket to drift by the river and saved somehow, in this case the Wolf
