Abstract
The Club del Progreso, founded in 1852, was the first exclusive space of sociability of Buenos Aires bourgeoisie. It was conceived as a refined and European place, and it contributed to the forging of a class identity and to the leading role of a political and economical elite. Historic and literary sources reveal this situation, and also testify to the foundation of the Jockey Club (1882), a space even more refined which turned into the luxurious scene of a consolidated ‘portena’ bourgeoisie.
