The house belonged to the founder of the city of Ituzaingó, Bernardino Valle, and is located at Centenario y Valle, on the banks of the Paraná River.
Founder’s Biography: Bernardino Valle was an Italian navigator dedicated to trade and transport, who arrived in the country in 1850 and bought land in this area. Until then, the growth of the town had developed through livestock and port activities.
In 1863, along with Juan Rivera and Francisco López, he sent a note to the Government of Corrientes requesting the creation of a town on the left bank of the Paraná River, in the place known as “Tranquera de Loreto,” as he believed that commercial activity flourished there, and it would be possible to regulate and organize the traffic of people and goods that were carried through the local port to and from Misiones, Corrientes, and Buenos Aires.
He built this house in the “Puerto Mamá” area. It is a country house located on the cliffs on the banks of the Paraná River.
It dates back to 1878. He used it for loading and unloading goods transported by river, as well as for rest during his passage through this area.
It currently retains its original style: it has a single room, surrounded by galleries, free perimeter, plastered walls, wooden columns in the gallery, brick floor, tiled roof, and bamboo ceiling. It is a spontaneous Argentine country house, of great landscape value as it is located on the cliffs on the banks of the Paraná River.
