The childhood home of Argentine football legend Diego Maradona in Fiorito (a working-class suburb of Buenos Aires where Maradona grew up in extreme poverty) has been converted into a community soup kitchen, serving residents struggling under President Javier Milei's sweeping austerity and free-market reforms introduced after his December 2023 election. Volunteers prepare chicken stew and other meals in large cauldrons in the yard of the house on Amazor street, distributing food and clothing to those in need, as cumbia music — Maradona's favourite genre — plays in the background. The initiative carries particular symbolic weight: Maradona, who died in 2020 aged 60, often spoke of the hunger he endured as a child in the same neighbourhood, and locals say repurposing his former home for charitable use honours his legacy.
