I also lived for many years in England. My teen years and a bit more I spent them at Mount St. Mary’s College in Spinkhill, a small town near Sheffield in the English Midlands. This Jesuit boarding school was my home; my classmates were my family and some of the finest memories date from those years… I also travelled in the Bahamas, and back in those days one of my friends’ had a small mansion by the sea side, where I spent several summers there, and once a group of 4 chaps, young, loud, and amazingly famous stayed there while touring and making a movie called, “Help” … their names were John, Paul, Ringo and George. Yes, The Beatles, so I also got to know them.
It was the 70s and England was bursting with enthusiasm, creativity and wittiness. I’m happy to know I witnessed those amazing times. I have no doubt about the fact that those early experiences in my life have shaped my mind, my soul and my interests, that today I see taking shape and body in the broad cultural project I develop passionately every day.
Cultural Revolution and Evolution, .......
As Latin as I am, thanks to my Pop’s influence, I feel deeply passionate about art, style, culture… As a Brit as I have come to be, I feel English is my mother tongue, the borderless language that allows us individuals to transcend geographical borders and limits, the language of my thoughts and my chats… Thanks to my lifetime experiences I’ve become who I am, and along the way many of my projects, those that start in one’s mind and come to take shape along the road of life, began to be real and my input in this modern global world.
I’m a proud citizen of the world, who has chosen Buenos Aires has become home, and all of South America as my back yard.

Der Pampa Bulldog ist ein argentinischer Lizenznachbau des weltweit bekannten Ackerschleppers Lanz Bulldog.
Der Pampa wurde anfangs von der I.A.M.E. (Industrias Aeronáuticas y Mecánicas del Estado), einer staatlichen Flugzeugfabrik, hergestellt. 1955 wurde die Firma in D.I.N.F.I.A. (Dirección Nacional de Fabricaciones e Investigaciones Aeronáuticas) umbenannt.
Aufgrund der schlechten Versorgung an landwirtschaftlichen Geräten und den schlechten Handelsbeziehungen mit den Vereinigten Staaten waren besonders Traktoren Mangelware. Deshalb beschloss der ehemalige Präsident Argentiniens Juan Perón, innerhalb von drei Monaten einen eigenen Traktor in Argentinien zu bauen. Perón beauftragte einige Experten, Landwirte in Argentinien zu befragen, welcher Traktor der zuverlässigste und einfachste sei. Die Wahl fiel mehrheitlich auf den Lanz Bulldog. Ein Großteil der dreimonatigen Frist war jedoch nach dem Ende der Umfrage bereits abgelaufen. Man entschloss sich also dazu, zwei Lanz Bulldog zu importieren. Einer der beiden wurde komplett zerlegt und an Betriebe zur Nachfertigung gegeben. Bei dem anderen tauschte man lediglich das Steigrohr des Bulldog gegen ein eigenes aus mit dem Schriftzug „I.A.M.E. PAMPA – Industria Argentina“ aus und lackierte den Schlepper vom typischen Lanzblau in einen hellen Orangeton um. Der erste Pampa Bulldog war entstanden und Perón hielt seine Frist wie versprochen ein.
Der erste Pampa (Umbau vom Lanz Bulldog) wurde 1952 gebaut. Die Serienproduktion begann Mitte 1954. 1956 wurde die Produktion endgültig eingestellt. Wegen der geringen Nachfrage nach 1955 wurde der Pampa bis etwa 1963 auf dem Markt angeboten, bis alle Bestände ausverkauft waren. Als zum Sturz Peróns 1955 die Bezeichnung von IAME auf DINFIA umgestellt wurde, gab es kleine Änderungen am Schlepper:
Bei der Umbenennung wurden die Aufschriften am Schlepper ebenfalls von IAME nach DINFIA geändert. Die Umstellung erfolgte etwa bei Schleppernummer 2500, wobei im Übergangsbereich teilweise IAME-Teile mit DINFIA-Teilen kombiniert wurden. Es gibt aus diesem Grund auch DINFIA-Schlepper mit Dachkantkotflügeln und IAME-Typen mit Muschelkotflügeln.
Die Anzahl der gebauten Schlepper ist nicht genau bekannt. Nach derzeitigem Kenntnisstand liegt die Zahl der produzierten Traktoren zwischen 3700 und 3800 Stück

Multiculturalism: My own Point of View. The Early Years.
I’m a true multi-cultural man. I was born in Argentina a long time ago now. My British Mom and my Italian-Argentine Dad had me and my brother traveling around the world, discovering amazing fantasy lands such as British Guyana and other Caribbean locations at a young age. After living only a couple of years in my native Argentina I have lived around the world, I’m Argentine by heart and British at the same time. If I had to choose I would breakfast in London, lunch at the Guyana and Dinner in Buenos Aires… May be that explains a lot of me…
