Monica
and Giorgio moved to Buenos Aires between the
nineteenth and the twentieth century in order to introduce
the Argentinian people to tango.

|
 |
|
| In
1907, July 26, at Hansen. El Cachafaz, after challenging
El Pardo Santillan, posed for a few newspapers
, with teachers Monica and Giorgio. |
|
|
It took them more than twenty years to convince the
foreign people to accept this dance, but at last,
among their students, some rare talents started to
emerge….

|
|
3rd of January 1953: twenty hours workshop on
sacadas at the Sunderland club, held by teachers
Monica and Giorgio.
|
|
|
Among their pupils there were great names such as
El Cachafaz, Antonio Todaro, Pepito Avellaneda, who
advertised their style and their teaching method.

10th
September, 1976: the “Piango Tango”
show, created and directed by Monica and Giorgio. |
|
|
Giorgio
and Monica founded scholarships to introduce young
Argentinians to the study of music and tango in particular,
making an enemy of their families that had hoped safer
and more profitable careers for their children.
The Piazzolla especially will never forgive them for
having dissuaded their eldest child from studying
accounting.

At
the beginning of the eighties Monica and Giorgio came
back to Europe.

golden period. This rare historical find can be downloaded

Foundation. The original is kept in Turin at the Museo del
Cinema, by the Mole Antonelliana, in the “Archivio storico
delle Americhe” section.
