He didn't just write cool books; he also helped other writers and was important in discussing what it means to be Argentine."

"Marechal was a cycling fan, and that is why he often went out on the street with his bike. It also served as inspiration for some of his works.

Marechal was a great fan of tango, and his love for this popular Argentine music is reflected in his descriptions of Buenos Aires in his writings. He was an appreciator of Argentine popular culture.

Marechal also had a close relationship with theater. He collaborated with several dramatists and played an active role in the cultural life of Buenos Aires."

"Leopoldo Marechal, our beloved patron, began primary school in 1907 at a private French school. Once, in fifth grade, his teacher read one of his works and said, 'This Marechal will be a poet.'

In 1913, he finished primary school and applied to enter secondary school. That same year, he began working as a factory worker but was fired for asking for a salary increase, leading him to work in the family garden, planting French lettuce and onions.

In 1916, he began studying at the Normal 2 Mariano Acosta secondary school, which provided him with a solid foundation in the humanities and social sciences. In 1922, he finished high school and continued his studies in philosophy at the University of Buenos Aires. He did not complete his degree but it gave him an important academic context."
