‘Home’ to or resting place for presidents, mayors, governors, nobel prize winners, writers, even a caretaker of Recoleta is buried there. However, what peaked Maria’s interest while there were the grave stories of four particular people

Liliana Crociati, Rufina Cambareces, David Alleno, and Eva Peron. Listen for a haunting tale, a missing body, and more
