Furthermore, the directory reinforced Buenos Aires’s complex linguistic and cultural identity. Listings were alphabetized by Spanish naming conventions (using both paternal and maternal surnames), yet they preserved the city’s immigrant history. Whole columns of Italian surnames (Rossi, Ferrari, Bianchi) and Spanish ones (García, Rodríguez, Fernández) traced the great transatlantic migrations.
