Filete Porteño is an artistic style of painting and drawing typical of Buenos Aires. Its origins date back to the horse-drawn carts that transported food in the late 19th century. The history of filete porteño has gone through many stages: popular, then banned, and finally recognized as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO. The filete technique requires brushwork, sketching, drawing, and painting. The volume of the ornament is provided by midtones, shadows, and highlights. Witty phrases, poetic sayings and humorous aphorisms written in ornate lettering are also incorporated. Filete Porteño constitutes a cultural heritage with which the citizens of Buenos Aires feel deeply identified.
