VILLA OCAMPO
A vast house where Victoria Ocampo, woman of letters and emblematic figure of the Argentine intelligentsia, grew up and lived.
This vast English and French style residence, built in 1891 , was the home of the Ocampo family. It was here that Victoria Ocampo, a woman of letters and an emblematic figure of the Argentine intelligentsia of the 20th century, grew up and lived. Closely linked to Jules Supervielle, Borges, Pierre Drieu la Rochelle, Michaux, Heidegger and many others, she published many of their texts, as well as some of the writings of her younger sister, the writer Silvina Ocampo, in the prestigious literary magazine she founded in 1931: SUR. The villa was bequeathed by Victoria to Unesco when she died.
