The History of the Republic of La Boca

The Italian immigrants who left their shores at the end of the XIX century and at the beginning of the XX century in search of a better future, settled in what is called “La Boca del Riachuelo”, literally meaning the mouth of the river. They decided to form a republic in our country.In 1882 a group of Italian immigrants got together in the Italian Society to form an independent country, since the state did not have the right to rule over the Italian population nor La Boca.

After writing an act informing the King of Italy, they declared this territory “The Republic of La Boca” and hoisted the Genovese flag.

The dream of these immigrants was short lived. The Argentine president Julio Roca arrived in La Boca, where he lowered the flag and cut short this revolution.

After all this chaos, one of the streets in the neighborhood was named Roca after the president.
