In his book, Leandro Vesco recounts his time in Concepción del Uruguay and rescues the history of those places that surprised him and left a mark on him: the San José Palace, Santa Cándida, Cambacuá Island, the Stella Maris lighthouse and the La still life Whip, among others. In addition to recovering events that are part of our conceptional being:
“In 1996, Juan Clerico and Carlos Guinsel, two former workers of Marcela, joined forces and rescued a formula similar to the original to create the Yatay aperitif, which is made in the old Lusera factory, and, in this way, the city recovered a important part of their identity.”
