Francisco Salamone might have been born in Buenos Aires in 1897or in Leonforte, Catania. In any event, he went to live in Buenos Aires with his parents and his father was an architect from Catania. He studied at the Otto Krause Technical institute in Buenos Aires and in the University of Cordoba, Argentina. He became a good friend of a conservative Argentinian politician who was governor of the Province of Buenos Aires from 1936-1940. During this time a lot of new municipal buildings were commissioned and communications were vastly improved. The buildings that Manuel Fresco commissioned to Salamone were very notable and a personal combinationof Art Deco, Authoritarianism, Functionalism, Italian Futurism and Propaganda Art on a vast scale.
