The inaugural ICA&CA tour to Buenos Aires
(May 15 - 22, 2010) was a huge success. See highlights below in
photographs by tour participant, ICA&CA Professional member, and Sponsor of the Forum and Classicist, Michael Vella of Vella Interiors.
The Presidential Palace Casa Rosada
(1870). That’s our group at the bottom, left hand corner.
The Teatro Colon, considered one of the
most important Opera Houses in the world. The Theater has been closed for
massive renovations during the last year and was scheduled to open a week after
this photo was taken. We were permitted to tour the interior while workers were
punch listing.
Palacio Paz. Built 1902 for wealthy
families who divided their time between Paris, London and Buenos Aires.
Our group at the Palacio Pereda, now
the Brazilian Ambassador’s residence. (That’s Michael Vella at the far left)
The 2nd floor
Stair Hall of the Boshe Palace, residence of the US Ambassador.
The paneled walls of one of
the rooms at the Bosche Palace.
