Illia, laid to rest here from his passing in January 1983 until October 1983<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">President Illia had been forced from office by a military coup in 1966, another victim of the revolving door of democracy &amp; dictatorship in the 20th century. The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.argentinaindependent.com\/currentaffairs\/analysis\/arturo-illia-and-the-argentina-that-might-have-been\/\">Argentina Independent<\/a> has a good article describing Illia&#8217;s last day in office. As a high-ranking member of the <strong>Uni\u00f3n C\u00edvica Radical<\/strong>, he was entitled to be buried in a mausoleum dedicated to those who had died in the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.recoletacemetery.com\/?p=4141\">1890 revolution<\/a>: a conflict that gave birth to that political party. Obviously he was moved there in October 1983, but <em>why did Illia spend 10 months in this spot?<\/em> A Presidential sash inside is another reminder of his temporary stay.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/recoletacemetery.com\/images\/200711G49.jpg\" alt=\"Buenos Aires, Recoleta Cemetery, Dechert-X, Arturo Illia\" width=\"450\" height=\"324\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">At first I thought this family might be related to Illia&#8217;s wife, <strong>Silvia Elvira Martorell Kaswalder<\/strong>. She had been undergoing treatment for cancer in a Texas hospital when Illia was forced from office in 1966. Silvia passed away only a few months later back home in C\u00f3rdoba &amp; was buried in Recoleta Cemetery in the tomb of Hip\u00f3lito Yrigoyen&#8217;s mother. Several decades later, she moved to a separate vault. A search in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.genealogiafamiliar.net\/getperson.php?personID=I687242&amp;tree=BVCZ\">Genealog\u00eda Familiar<\/a> turned up nothing to relate either Illia or his wife to the Dechert-Barletti family.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">According to a 1977 edition of the <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.org\/stream\/Boletin_Oficial_Republica_Argentina_2da_seccion_1977-12-20\/1977-12-20_djvu.txt\">Bolet\u00edn Oficial<\/a>, Jorge Luis Dechert &amp; Ernesto Alberto Barletti formed a company called <strong>Nininco<\/strong> that specialized in radio &amp; television components as well as albums &amp; cassette tapes.
