👨🦱 About Bernardino Valle
Bernardino Valle was an Italian sailor and merchant who arrived in 1850 by the Paraná River. He bought land and helped grow the town. Along with Francisco López and Juan Rivera, he supported the creation of Ituzaingó.
In 1863, they sent a letter to the Government of Corrientes asking to found a town in the area called Tranquera de Loreto, where there was lots of trade. Their goal was to organize the movement of people and goods between Misiones, Corrientes, and Buenos Aires.
🏠 About the River House
Bernardino Valle built the house in 1878, in a place called Puerto Mamá, on the cliffs of the Paraná River. He used it as a rest house and for loading and unloading goods from the river.
It’s a traditional Argentine countryside house, with:
- One single room
- Galleries all around
- Wooden columns
- Plastered walls
- Brick floors
- Tiled roof
- Bamboo (tacuara) ceiling
- Open space around the house
The house has historical and scenic value, thanks to its location and original style.
