He grew up
there and when he turned twenty years old, he came to Argentina because of the First
World War.
He spent a few
days in Buenos Aires and then he moved to the country side six hundred miles
from Buenos Aires. He started working with animals and producing vegetables and
grains. After a few months he started his own farm.
There he met
Margarita Gonzalez and one year later they got married and had five children.
One of them was my grandmother called Nelida Gonzalez
who grew up in the country side. When she was eighteen she met Carlos Spertino
, they got married and had three children. My mum and her brothers grow up in
the country and when my mum was six, they moved to a small town so my mum could
start primary school.
After my mum
finished secondary school, she left that little town and moved to La Plata to study architecture.
Here she met my father and when she was twenty-four they got married, and one
year later they had their first children, my brother called Mariano.
