Francisco Salamone (1897–1959) was an Italian Argentine architect known for designing, in just four years, more than 60 buildings in the Buenos Aires Province, mainly in Art Deco and Futurist styles.
[2] Fresco embarked in big public works projects, which were expected to encourage the growth of small towns and cities.
He entrusted Salamone with the task of constructing different public buildings in the humid pampas, giving him full powers and funding.
When Fresco was removed from power in 1940 by a federal intervention, Salamone moved with his family to Buenos Aires City.
In 1943 he had to go into exile in Uruguay after being accused of corruption in a road paving work in San Miguel de Tucumán.
