It's named after the capital city of Sicily, in Italy. That's a reflection of the many Italian immigrants that settled there long ago.
This Buenos Aires neighborhood is very popular with young Argentinians and foreign tourists. It's a hip place -- known for its bohemian cafes and hyper-active nightlife.
