An Argentine heart



Monday 30 October 2006

Like so many other cities, Buenos Aires decided they needed some kind of big exhibition of identical shapes all painted differently by local artists, displayed around the city. Here, they chose hearts, and gave a big whoop-dee-do for a local heart healthy foundation.

This hearts says, I believe, "A good porteño heart," (Porteño means from Buenos Aires) and is painted in the local fileteado style. I can't be entirely sure, however, because I can't find the word "cuore" in my dictionary. But they like to make up words down here - some days the langauge they speak only vaguely resembles Spanish.
