Two words on the partners of Zanella’s story
- the garage El Camino
So many things have been and will have been possible to do in this garage of mechanics : pose-deposits of motor, fixing and rectificating transmission, brakes, air-conditioning, but also percussions, songs, dance, advanced survey of the feminine psychology, tunning... Owners Adrian and Ivan his brother both from the north of Argentina (Entre Rios) say they do complete mechanics, but it is necessary to add that their place is also a place for a complete meeting. It is better to be going to see what is going there on with the movie. The garage is located at the 920 Maipu street in Rio Gallegos.


- the foundation Rincon del Arte
In 1998, Norma Segovia, professor of plastic arts, specialist of sculpture, invents the Rincon del Arte like a place to show the creation cultural and artisanal of Patagonia and in particular of province of Santa Cruz (250 000 inhabitants for 250 000 km square). First in the Zapiola street of Rio Gallegos, the foundation goes after to get settled in the house of the grandfather Segovia, inventor of the daily la Opinion austral, to the sides of Celinda. It is there that the foundation is acting today, in Rivadavia street, with courses of music, exhibitions and concerts, annexed of a bar that participates in the incomes of the foundation entirely financed by the family Segovia. The place is simple, pretty, the team is like a family.
