Through a gift by Minetti and Martínez Carbonell, the xylographies awarded at the Biennial of Venice joined the heritage of the Museo Castagnino of Rosario.

Berni applied the “xilo-collage” technique –to which he would add a most unfrequent volume, thus creating his “xilo-collage-relieves”– in prints like Ramona costurera, Ramona vive su vida, El strip-tease de Ramona, El protector de Ramona, Ramona bataclana, Ramona en el cabaret, in which is told the story of a humble girl who works as a prostitute. In September’s issue of the magazine Nosotros en el arte y la literatura, Berni stated, “Ramona Montiel is an outskirts character, as if emerged from the lyrics of a tango; like Milonguita, in a way. She is a character who lives a very particular situation, she goes through the hardest moments, but at times she spends an easy life, changing from being a seamstress to be the mistress of several individuals..., a whole complicate path of the 20th century”.
