Società Unione Operai Italiani, Italian workers association building in downtown Buenos Aires, Argentina.
The building features Art Nouveau architecture with a decorated facade, ornate halls, and a grand salon adorned with 19th-century ceiling paintings.
Founded in 1874, the Società Unione Operai Italiani established the first Italian primary school for girls in Buenos Aires in 1876.
The ceiling paintings in the main hall depict Italian-Argentine union themes and aspects of Italian culture transferred to South America.
The building, located at Sarmiento 1374, gained structural protection status in 2008 and underwent restoration under the Church of Scientology ownership.
Architect Virginio Colombo redesigned the facade in 1913, creating a secular altarpiece that narrates the Italian community's history to passersby.
