...began in the 1800s, when the country needed farm hands to help bring in its beef and wheat crops. Before long, thousands of Italians-giddy with romantic tales of the Argentine pampas-were hurrying across the Atlantic. In the mid-1800s, some 200 Italian families set up a silk-spinning industry in Chaco province; later they began a cotton industry. When Argentina constructed a new Congress building, it was an Italian architect who designed it, an Italian company that built it. And who became the incarnation of the Argentine tango and Argentine Gaucho? None other than the handsome young Italian...
