The Divine Archer
This says an article in the newspaper El Día, dated December 10, 1970:
" The City acquired a sculptor Troiano Troiani, which has been placed in Moreno Plaza on the corner of Rue 14 and 54. Entitled "The Archer" and is a valuable sculptural work that comes through the creativity of renowned artist. Adding to the acquisitions in the salons of painting, sculpture, printmaking and drawing as a result of cultural broadcasting task faced by the municipality . "
What 
not seem to have noticed then that is what most attracts the attention of passers-by that statue: The fact that this archer aims at the heart of the Cathedral .
Since there is no official explanation of the orientation of this sculpture can not really know why it was located in this form or who gave the or orders, but over time many people have been developing their own theories:
Some believe it was placed there by the Masons who founded the city, and the fact that the goalkeeper points to the Cathedral is the way to show their differences with the Church, but this is false since the sculpture was made in 1924 and was placed there in 1970 (42 and 88 years after the founding of La Plata, respectively). However, some time after relocating there someone cut a bow of bronze, perhaps because they believe in this theory.
is also the opinion of Gualberto Reynal, who wonders whether his book is a "diabolical monument" and has made several requests to the municipality to change its location or orientation, without receiving response. Finally found
J.
the view Sebastian, who states: " This statue is not set to happen here. If we start from the premise that the city of La Plata has a whole Masonic symbolism, all those who came back (the founders) to a certain time, have continued with the same symbolism. Some people are alive, which belongs to the Masons and is in government. The city of La Plata, apart from the Foundation Stone, you must have, or yes, a cornerstone. The goalkeeper, in the place where apparently would be the "cornerstone." I come looking for some time. Can be physical or symbolic. Manufacturers to use when work is completed. The principle is the cornerstone, the end is the cornerstone. The cornerstone is the stone that is thrown away, the builders can not use it for either side. Symbolized by a stone that has a square base and round top. Can not be used ever as the foundation, as the first stone, because otherwise everything would fall. Then used as the last stone, which may be real or symbolic. There are two types cornerstone: the one named, or shaped like a pyramid or diamond (diamond). The archer, bow and arrow, what do they mean?, We have symbolically Cupid our best intentions in love Cupid takes them through an arrow, which is for the person we love. The arrow, symbolically, and it clearly says René Guénon (The fundamental symbols of the sacred science), said to be the seventh Ray. Are the highest aspirations of human beings.

Walt Disney in the city of La Plata 
In the neighborhood there Gonnet an area of \u200b\u200b53 acres where the park known as the Children's Republic . It was created to teach children how is the functioning of the institutions of a democratic republics ca , mimicking on a smaller scale than normal in many of the buildings where institutions function, and Legislature, Palace of Justice, Government House, Palace of Culture, Chapel, Fire and Police Headquarters, Army, Customs, etc.
was ide ed by architects 
Lima, Cuenca and Gallo, who were inspired by the tales of Andersen ( El Patito Feo "," The Little Mermaid "), the Grimm brothers (" White, "" Cinderella ") and legends told by Tennyson and Mallory to plan and build all the buildings of medieval styles, European and Islamic.
Construction began in 1949 and her wrinkled wo
some 1,600 workers for two years, until the inauguration which was conducted by General Juan Domingo Peron on 26 November 1951. It is here where there was the myth that came to our days: is said that by that time reached the site of an artist Gonnet American named Walt Disney, who was famous at the time by drawing Mickey Mouse .
It is said that 
Disney (who had visited the country in decades da 1940), was present at the inauguration of the Republic of Children and this place platense inspired him to build in California Disneyland Park , three years later. Some even claim that he met with President Perón, who thought this cultural change in an amusement park (which was not accepted by Peron and the idea was not to be had for the park).
The myth that Disney was inspired by the Children Republic creating Disneyland and was in La Plata in 1951, continued uneventfully until 2008. It was in December of that year which announced the possibility that the Disney company to collaborate on the restoration of the park in Gonnet. According to a note by the newspaper said Day, the mayor met with Earl Bruera Wayne (U.S. Ambassador to Argentina) and it was there that spoke of the existence of a video in which images can be visited by Walt Disney to La Plata , which is thought to include in the Republic of Children a place that bears witness to the visit of the artist.
Finally none of this could done, so Disney's visit to the city will remain one of the myths of La Plata.

Stories from the cemetery of La Plata (Part I) Today I let a couple of the many stories of those working in the Cemetery of La Plata, and were not written by me but it did Olga B. Flores in its publication Anecdotes and myths involving dead ... and living . The photo was taken by Yoti .
we travel
One morning a 
alarmed employees warned colleagues that he was sure he had seen a decomposing corpse lying on the door a niche. They went on an urgent basis to the scene and confirmed that someone had pulled a drawer body and dragged him several feet.
While at the cemetery trying to find an explanation, the bar across the street came a man with the stained shirt and a foul smell. His appearance attracted the attention of the few parishioners who occupied a table. With bulging eyes, the stranger asked for a phone, saying he had to call a charter to take his father to Italy. The bar owner chose to call the police, and this was revealed the mystery of the dead out of the drawer.
Siesta
One January afternoon, a few summers ago, after lunch and a few extra glasses, one of the gravediggers decided nap. The cool and comfortable place he found was a grave. His companions, seeing that he was sound asleep, covered it with wreaths of flowers (which abound in the cemetery). When he awoke, it had to remove the crown over to get up.
At the same time, two elderly women placed flowers on a grave nearby and began to see the man coming out of the grave. The gravedigger yawned, looked and said "good afternoon." The last thing you knew was that these two ladies came running and screaming through the front door.
Masonic symbols disappeared from the Legislature 
For several decades, the La Plata that passed near the Legislature could look at the front on Avenue 7, about Masonic symbols that were in the front of the building until mid-1935 . Today I'm going to tell her story.
The symbol more stressed in the front of the Legislature was that of a six-pointed star, known popularly as "Star of David ." It was placed there by the masons is were in charge of design and construction of the building: the architects Gustavo cough Hein, George Hagemann and Charles Nordman , q ho had the task of making the plans. Masons were also entrepreneurs and Olivari pleural , who were in charge of the construction (begun in 1883).
The star of six points
consists of two equilateral triangles, and is a Masonic symbol called "Solomon's seal " or " sign of the macrocosm." It has its origins in the Middle Ages, and its best known use is the one that gave the Jews when incorporated in the construction of t emplo Jerusalem.
This hexagram meet the four key elements: fire, guide, land and air . It expresses very well the principle of analogy and correspondence made in the Rosetta Stone, you can translate the upper triangle represents the legislators and the people below, so that the center of the hexagon is the union between these two worlds, the representation of people through their leaders gathered inside the compound.
The six-pointed star was not the only Masonic symbol which may be in the Legislature. There were also the three symbols from the front architrave but were widely used by the Masons of the Middle Ages who left a stamp on each ed own
ificio they built. Like a painter who makes use of a monogram to identify their works, the Masons left these marks in cathedrals, churches, castles and other buildings erected since the twelfth century in Germany, France and England.
These geometric symbols were referring to the various Masonic lodges. In the case of the Legislature of the Province of Buenos Aires, three by the three architects who planned the building: Hein, Hagemann and Nordman. Now
you know what they mean 
and why they were there, and you may be wondering why they disappeared these symbols showing the Masonic history of La Plata. The truth is that in 1935 were removed but not to hide the city's Masonic connections, but because of the Act 4351 which provides a shield for the province of Buenos Aires and determines its placement in the frontispiece of the Legislative Building .
