ALEKSANDRA TONELLI | COCOLICHE TRIO

Cocoliche is a language created by Italian immigrants and Argentinean locals in Buenos Aires, at the beginning of the 20th century. Several words and expressions are still used nowadays on both sides of the Atlantic. 100 years later, the process reverses: Argentineans and Italians meet again in Europe, in the middle of an ultra-globalized society.
