INCLUSIVENESS

On the afternoon of April 22, 1917, the Aragonese torero Florentino Ballesteros (already pointing to the name) did the little walk in the old Plaza de Madrid accompanied by Welcome and Jose Gomez "Cock." It was his first appearance in Madrid after he had suffered tremendous goring to several months in Morón de la Frontera, which was about to end up in tragedy. He wrestled bulls livestock Civic Gamero, former Parladé, of which three would be rejected at the veterinary examination, so that closure was completed with iron bulls Benjamin. Florentino as the junior bullfighter would deal after his two fellow cartel. Dressed Florentino Ballesteros of maroon and gold.
The press at the time echoed the alternative of Florentino Ballesteros, suffer later in which a pompous fuck.
In his first bull, the third of the run, Florentino would perform a task without much brightness, consistent with the two preceding bulls fought by their fellow cartel. Sixth Cook jumped into the arena marked No. 87, Benjamin livestock, a copy in brown antelope of many pounds, cornalón and well placed. In the third beam speared Florentino to Veronica when she slipped on the bad fortune that the bull caught him in the chest, turning the bullfighter several times on the nozzle until it launched the ground. Florentino joined the injured throwing hand and managed to get on their own feet to the tables, where he was taken to the infirmary.
Three moments of the dramatic and fatal Florentino Ballesteros fuck right by the bull cook it the old Plaza de Toros de Madrid would end up costing lives.
In the stands were known from the first moment of the gravity of the gore, which would confirm right after making the first medical examination. Understandably, and despite the seriousness of the butt, from the infirmary of the place would be transferred to the inn, the Golden Lions on Calle del Carmen, corner the Postigo de San Martín, Plaza del Callao today. The transfer was carried out on a stretcher, with two guards in front of it making its way and four on each side, behind the couch marched a procession of more than 500 people accompanied the right to pension was stopped three times in Courtship road and practitioners who accompanied him took the pulse of the bullfighter, proving that he was stable. When they reached the inn a large group of onlookers had already quoted at the gates of the establishment. Was this the place we always chose the right when he visited Madrid, usually staying in the room mezzanine number 7, but this time stayed at 47 on the main floor, and would be in that room where he died that night, his wife being present and some other relative. In this sad way to end the days of this modest right.
Portrait of Florentino Ballesteros.
If all stories have a beginning and an end, where we bring you today we have started from the end to take it up from scratch. Florentino Ballesteros was born in the year 1893 in Zaragoza, and within days was placed on the lathe from the Foundling of Zaragoza leaving the care of the Sisters of Charity. Florentino was a very restless child awake. From an early he showed great talent and intelligence, especially for its qualities for painting and drawing, as well as music. At the age of ten had to leave the institution, where he spent the hospice. This center would be part of the band, a band that was in charge of livening up the bullfights that took place in the Plaza de Zaragoza. And it would be after the visits to the bullring in Zaragoza, where the fans would be born in Florentino. In the Hospice with another inmate befriended his age, Antonio Perez, who took the name of "the Guayabera Boy", which like taurine Florentino had concerns. Both conspired to jump the arena as one of the valise runs Pilar Fair of 1908, making first "of the Guayabera Boy" and the next bull Florentino, running both the same fate given his bones two days in police station . The Hospice also be punished, and after spending several days in jail was known as, were one year without being able to go out on Sundays. But these punishments and reprimands, did not deflect Florentino of its purposes where in addition to their liking, they should also influence their dreams of wealth and social recognition, especially given his humble origins and particular circumstances. Somehow, even knowing and its tragic end, we can say that Florentino achieve its goals and to become a bullfighter with a poster and recognition by many fans, win money but not making a fortune and form a family (one of his sons would torero also), but never forgot his brothers of the Foundling Hospital, helping whenever he could with donations and gifts, and throwing a hand whenever any of your brothers ask you a favor.
Florentino Ballesteros's death would cause great turmoil in the world of bullfighting, as reflected in the large number of news media treatment.
The story of the Foundling Hospital is old, or more precisely the institutions similar to it, since the terms even born in Madrid in the sixteenth century. It would be in 1561 when Philip II moved his court to Madrid (see the chronicle "the Austrians to Mourinho"), and we know that the courts do not come alone, with all staff to serve the monarch and the state administration, the noble courtiers, servants, the clergy who never fails in these moves, nor the military and soldiers as well as artisans, craftsmen, and so on, always accompanied by another court of the most colorful characters, driven mostly by the attraction to thrive or simply by trying to survive. With so many people from here to there, and with so much need, the occurrence of unwanted pregnancies that could keep children was commonplace and it is also common that these children were handed over to institutions, particularly religious but People usually sponsorship potential, take charge of them.
would thus be created in Madrid as a haven devoted to the collection of foundlings or abandoned. According collects D. Fermoselle Jesus "founded in 1572 by the Confraternity of Our Lady of Soledad and Sorrows (was founded in 1563 by a group of devotees and monks Minimum to meet in the Convent of La Victoria in the coming out of the nursing-homes hospitals) to collect the abandoned babies in the streets of Madrid, and try to prevent his death from cold, starvation and foremost, acristianarlos, because a high percentage of them died in the early days within the institution. " This hospital is located in Madrid's Puerta del Sol, between the streets of Carmen and Prices.

The history of the establishment name begins with the arrival in Spain of a painting of the Virgin of La Paz with a child at his feet, this painting was brought by soldiers who fought in the Wars of Flanders (see Chronic Source Albilla Duke) from the Dutch town of Enkuissen and would be donated to the institution by Felipe II. Degeneration or accommodation of the name, the Virgin of Einkussen finally became known popularly as the Madonna of the Foundling Hospital, and by extension the institution would also take the name of inclusiveness, which end up being used by all such centers all over the country. The Foundling would be just one of the many charities that have existed in Madrid throughout its history, and still preserved architectural examples, such as the Hospice of San Fernandode Fuencarral, designed by architect Pedro Ribera now houses the Museo Municipal de Madrid.

The Foundling Madrid continue their activity almost to this day, his last position of O'Donnell Street, where they form part of complex medical care and child asylum made by the San Jose, church and school of Peace , Institutes and Maternología Provincial Child Care, and Obstetrics and Gynecology. The new health complex would be designed and started building during the last years of the reign of Alfonso XIII to replace the old Foundling Inn Wall Street, but would be opened in the time of the Republic in the name of "Provincial Institute of Child Care ". This institution would participate in the new republican ideals regenerationists where education and care of children would have a key role in social policy. In the semi-clandestine which was deposited around the children to their fate, is passed to a desk where it serves both children and mothers, which is helpful to seek a job or occupation, or trying to address the causes that have pushed to give their child. During the Civil War, the inmates would be transferred, like many children in Madrid, had colonies on the east coast, and end the fight, the agency would continue its activities in the same place until almost the end of the twentieth century.

The October 23, 1933 Madrid Herald echoed the inauguration of the Institute by the President of the Republic, Don Niceto Alcalá Zamora. As discussed above, although the project predates the Republic, would be finalized during this and this fact is what we in the pediment of the main entrance of the street we can look at a super O'Donnell polychrome coat of the Provincial Provincial de Madrid with the civic crown would replace the royal crown after the proclamation of the Republic.
