La Boca

One of the many colorful homes in the barrio La Boca. La Boca is synonymous with Italian immigration (mostly from Genoa)to Buenos Aires in the late 19th century.They say that many of them were so poor that they used left over paint from fishing boats to paint their homes...hence the kaleidoscope of colors.
