Francisco Cafferata

In 1877, after taking lessons from a local art teacher, he went to Florence, Italy, where he lived for eight years.

He also executed his first major sculpture, "La Esclavitud" (Slavery), which was awarded a gold medal at the South American Continental Exhibition in Buenos Aires.

Upon returning home in 1885, he created a monument to Admiral Guillermo Brown, which was inaugurated in 1886, in the suburb of Adrogué.

He contributed three works to an exposition organized by the Sociedad Damas De La Misericordia at the Buenos Aires Stock Exchange in 1887.

His monument to the revolutionary soldier, Falucho, a commission he had won in a competition, was left unfinished.
