Legacy

Calle de la Piedad entre Reconquista y 25 de Mayo

Giovanni Canaveri had emigrated from the Province of Cuneo, Piedmont to Republic of Genoa in times of Charles Emmanuel III of Sardinia, Charles Emmanuel III, and settled possibly in Provence, later in Spain and then in Buenos Aires during the reign of Charles III of Spain, Charles III, who implemented the Bourbon reforms in the Spanish colonies. Juan de Canaveris used a large number of variants of his original surname, signing documents such as Canavero, Canavé, Canaven, Canaberis, Canavery and others. Canaveris, Canaveriis o Canaveri is a toponymic surname, present in antiquity in North Italy and France, including the regions of Turin and Bouches-du-Rhône, Rhône. His family were related to the beginnings of Argentine education, pioneers in adopting the Monitorial System, Lancasterian teaching system in the United Provinces of the Río de la Plata. Some of his descendants were also involved the establishment of the railways in Buenos Aires (public deeds), including the Buenos Aires Great Southern Railway, Great Southern Railway and Federico Lacroze, Lacroze Railroad. General Enrique Mosconi, a maternal great-grandson of Juan Canaveris, and whose father engineer took part in the construction of Central Argentine Railway, was president of YPF, Yacimientos Petrolíferos Fiscales, and served between 1906 and 1908, in the German Army (German Empire), German Army as Captain in the 1st Battalion of Pioneer (military), Pioners of VII Corps (German Empire), Westphalian. His descendants took part in most of the political and military events in Argentina and Uruguay, including those that occurred towards the end of the 19th century. Some of them integrated the ranks of the main political parties of the time like the National Autonomist Party, Unión Cívica Radical, National Party (Uruguay), National Party and National Civic Union (Argentina), National Civic Union. His caste also took an active part in the birth of the economic institutions of Argentina, including the Bank of the Province of Buenos Aires, Casa de Moneda de la República Argentina and Buenos Aires Stock Exchange. Members of his family also participated in the colonization of La Pampa Province, La Pampa, and the Argentine Patagonia, providing police, military and political services. His descendant Samuel Canaveris (1854 - c 1920) was Mayor of Río Gallegos on several occasions. The son of this M. Canaveri presided over the honorary commission of Immigration in Santa Cruz Province, sub-chaired by Juan D. Aubone and Víctor Fenton. Pedro Canaveri and Zoilo Canavery, great-great grandchildren of Juan Canaveris were precursors of the Football in Argentina, Argentine soccer. Another member of the family linked to the sport was Carlos M. Canaveris, who integrated the First Directive Commission of the Club Atlético y Tiro Federal of Puan, Buenos Aires, Puan in 1907. Esteban Achinelly, Stephen Achinelly (1800-1845), a British stockbroker born in Gibraltar, linked to the Bayá Canaveris and Thompson-Cunningham families, is registered as a founding partner of Hospital Británico de Buenos Aires, British Hospital of Buenos Aires in 1844. The houses of the Canaveris Esparza family, which also had a warehouse and stables, were rented to English, French and Irish immigrants established in Buenos Aires since the end of the colonial period. It was also inhabited in his adulthood by his sons Joaquín and Juan José Canaveris, and then acquired at public auction by his grandson Juan Manuel Canaveris, who lived in it until his death in 1868. The houses of Nos. 21 and 23 were sold by Juan Manuel Canaveris to Nicolás Hugo de Anchorena (husband Mercedes Castellanos de Anchorena) in 1857. These properties had a land of seventeen and a half yards in front and seventy yards of surface in the back ground. His home was in the vicinity of the central branches of the Banco Británico de la América del Sud and Banco de Londres y Río de la Plata, established in the area since 1860s. Juan Canaveris also owned land in the current town of La Lucila. These lands were sold by his son Joaquín Canaveris to Lorenzo Antonio Uriarte, who in turn sold them to Martina Monasterio de Llavallol, wife of Felipe Llavallol. So far no record is found about the genealogy of his parents Gabriel Canaveris and Margarita Jugluns, but apparently was a mixed family ancestry of the :it:Nobiltà piemontese, Piedmontese aristocracy, the French bourgeoisie, and an Irish family, possibly linked to the Irish Brigade (France), Brigades that served in France, Northern Italy or Spain towards the 17th or 18th century. His idiosyncrasy and that of their descendants until the third or fourth generation, is nothing like the Italian or Spanish Creole families of their time. A trips to Paris and London made in 1830 by his grandson Juan Manuel Bayá Canaveris, possibly suggests a paternal connection in Western Europe or Ireland. Juan Canaveris never made a will, his last record in the post-colonial period is in the claim for the rights of his wife in the testamentary of Doctor Francisco Antonio de Esparza, a direct relative of Catalina Bernarda de Esparza.
