Argentino Lamas

Argentino Lamas is a legendary figure in the Rio de Janeiro region, known for his role in the development of local land in the 1960s. He is credited with the creation of the area that would eventually become the new neighborhood of Argentino, which is set to be officially recognized as the smallest neighborhood in the city, consisting of only four streets. His legacy continues to influence the local community, as evidenced by the formation of a residents' association in 2022, aimed at addressing the needs and concerns of those living in the area.
