the house you live in Aemilius Persian since 2015 it has a particular history: it was built in the early ’80s to be installed there mario firmenich on his return to Argentina. The person in charge of the construction was the uncle of Fernanda Raventawhich had a construction company in La Plata and good links with Montoneros. In total, in the 1980s, four houses had to be built for other leaders of the stature of Fernando Vaca Narvaja and Roberto Perdía.
according to account Persianexcept yours, which is in Isidro Casanova, the others were not delivered.
“Raverta said that they never paid him. Perhaps it is true. A partner lived in this one, who was part of the puffy brown. He lived here for many years, but later they filed a lawsuit against him. We talked to him and told him that we were paying the costs of the trial. In the end, the Justice ended up resolving the situation and, since he wanted to go live in Corrientes, we bought the house from him,” says the leader of the Avoid Movement.
On paper, the house belongs to his wife, Patricia Covered. And since they were installed in 2015, they have done a huge amount of reforms. The reason is that the house had been designed with a clear objective: to be a fortress that could prevent attacks on Firmenitch.

The double exterior walls so that they can better stop possible attacks. In almost all environments there are embedded grills. “You see them and you can’t believe because they were made to burn papers. You hear that today and it seems unbelievable,” he says Persian.
The house has three floors and the second floor has a separate entrance, since it was designed as a meeting room. The environment had another small room built inside with curved walls built with iron bars.
Since he moved in, he has made several renovations to avoid that bunker-like appearance. In most environments, he changed those small windows for large windows. “The issue is that everything was designed architecturally. It was a house prepared for the cold, for the heat, and now all that is wrong.”
Secondly, the changes were so that the house would give him more comfort: he built a pool that occupies almost the entire patio, put a railing on the stairs, eliminated the bathroom in the oval hall and enlarged the one in his room.
“Architecturally we screwed it up,” he jokes.
