Enrico Francesco Leopoldo "Enrique" Ferrarese (July 3, 1882 – January 1, 1968) was an

Italian Argentine
real estate developer.

Professional life

Born in Cerea, Italy in 1882, arrived in Argentina at age 2 with his father, Giuseppe Angelo, and his mother, Luigia Martini, who renamed him Enrique Ferrarese. He married Ana Carrasco González (1888–1924), with whom he fathered four children: Enrique, Blanca, Ali, and Noemí. Enrique founded the construction firm Ferrarese Hermanos & Cia. with his brother Guido. The firm began working mostly on façades, plaster details, and ornamental finishing on other significant projects such as the Bola de nieve (snowball), a large spherical structure on top of a building located in the intersection of Córdoba and Laprida. The warehouse of Ferrarese Hermanos & Cia. was situated at 1251 Callao Street.[1]

The Bola de nieve building is today one of the architectural landmarks of

skyscrapers in South America.[6]
Other projects carried by Ferrarese Hermanos & Cia. were the "Club Rosarino de Pelota", the "Barrio Fisherton Golf Club", the tribune of "Newell's Old Boys" stadium in Parque de la Independencia, and the building commissioned by Countess of Chateaubriand in Buenos Aires. Enrique Ferrarese died in Rosario on January 1, 1968.
