What do Eva Perón (Evita), Ernesto "Che" Guevara, Diego Maradona and Carlos Gardel have in common? Not much, indeed, but they all belong to the beloved and venerated Argentine icons. Pictures of these idols became virtually devotional objects and can be bought everywhere in Buenos Aires. They belong to Argentina's identity as tango, beef and gauchos.
