When the bulldozers devastated a sector of Chacabuco Park in the late 1970s, part of its heritage in sculptures, fountains, staircases and rose gardens was lost. The park preserved, among others, the bronze bust of Frederic Chopin, the work of the Italian sculptor Pedro Juan Ferrari.
The Chopiniana Foundation is included here with the impetus of an outstanding pianist, Martha Noguera, who celebrated the 22nd edition of its international festival.
