Lots of Dellepiane tombs are scattered through the cemetery, but this vault holds two of the most important family members. Antonio Dellepiane<\/strong> chose not to practice law after graduating with honors & much praise in 1892. Instead, he focused on education in criminology. As first professor of the newly-established Sociology department at the Universidad de Buenos Aires<\/em>, Antonio traveled to Europe to bring back the latest theories & teachings to Argentina.<\/p>\n Several books & faculty positions later, Antonio excelled in another field: history. In the early 1920s, he was named Director of the Museo Hist\u00f3rico Nacional<\/em> & used his position to write several historical biographies. With access to original documentation, Antonio discovered the lives of two important women, Mar\u00eda S\u00e1nchez de Thompson<\/a> & Carmen N\u00f3brega de Avellaneda (wife of President Nicol\u00e1s Avellaneda<\/a>). He passed away in 1939 & a plaque was donated by master sculptor Rogelio Yrurtia on the first anniversary of his death:<\/p>\n During the 1919 Semana Tr\u00e1gica<\/em>, Lieutenant General Luis J. Dellepiane <\/strong>restored order to Buenos Aires after a metalworkers’ union strike spiraled out of control. He had previously been in charge of the city’s police force after the 1909 assassination of Ram\u00f3n Falc\u00f3n<\/a> & remained in that position until 1912. By 1919, Luis had assumed command of the Second Division of the Argentine army stationed in Campo de Mayo<\/a>. Luis marched his troops into Buenos Aires to engage striking workers at the request of the Minister of War. Violence continued & almost 1,000 people died in the most violent social uprising ever seen in the city.<\/p>\n Luis would later be appointed Minister of War during Hip\u00f3lito Yrigoyen’s second term & resigned when fellow general Jos\u00e9 F\u00e9lix Uriburu ousted the President in 1930. Oddly enough, Luis also studied to be a civil engineer & did the first geodetic studies of Argentina. Only two plaques commemorate Luis, none of which mention his role in the Semana Tr\u00e1gica<\/em>:<\/p>\n Lots of Dellepiane tombs are scattered through the cemetery, but this vault holds two of the most important family members.
