This Thursday morning, in the Assembly Hall of the Municipality of Concordia, organized by the Undersecretariat of Education, the Deliberative Council, and the Justo José de Urquiza Association, the presentation of the book “Manuel Antonio Urdinarrain, un general de Urquiza”, by professor Liliana Broggi, was held.
The author was accompanied by the vice-mayor Magdalena Reta de Urquiza; the Undersecretary of Education Carlos Gatto; the president of the Concordiense Association General Justo José de Urquiza, Bernardo Salduna; and council members Felipe Sastre and Silvina Ovelar.
Vice-mayor Magdalena Reta de Urquiza expressed her satisfaction in supporting the presentation and linked it to the idea that “we have of creating a library in the Deliberative Council, so that any person can delve into different topics of the city”.
Regarding the editorial work, she highlighted the figure of Manuel Antonio Urdinarrain “as he was a general who accompanied Urquiza in almost all his battles and they even shared many aspects of life, such as primary school”.
CONTRIBUTION TO KNOWLEDGE
For his part, Dr. Bernardo Salduna thanked the invitation and highlighted the action, as “it is an important contribution to the knowledge of the history of Entre Ríos, the one made by professor Liliana Broggi. Sometimes we always talk about figures with street names or town names, we relate them to the geographical place but without knowing their history in depth, and the professor's work sufficiently clarifies many unknowns that we from Entre Ríos have”.
URDINARRAIN
Finally, professor Liliana Broggi thanked the invitation for the event in Concordia and explained how the idea for the book was born, recounting that “I was like these kids and in high school the only thing I knew was that my city was called Urdinarrain, that is to say, we knew nothing”.
Following a talk about Urquiza and the Constitution, where General Urdinarrain was mentioned, “I felt a kind of shame because I said but I don't know anything about him, and from that moment on I said I want to know and I went out to look for data”.
Her search led her to travel through historical sites of the geography of Entre Ríos and emblematic places such as the Urquiza College, the Basilica of Concepción del Uruguay, the Martiniano Leguizamón Provincial Historical Museum, and the San José Palace; among others.
In her speech, the professor emphasized above all the ties that united General Urdinarrain with the city of Concordia.
