El Jardin de Estrasburgo, a restaurant and Salon de te, 1900. In 1897, it held the first exhibition of cinema in Lima by Vitascope Edison (passengers on the Chilean Steam from Panama) in the presence of el presidente Nicolas de Pierola. Lima's economy was greatly helped by the prosperous industrial immigrants from Europe, the majority of which were italians, predominately from the city of Genova, followed by the french. In 1863, there were 341 italian businesses in Peru and the wealthy upper-class italians from Genova funded the Banco de Italiano en Peru. The chinos were actually the largest immigration group and between 1849-1875 there were over a 100,000 suffering terrible conditions working in the Haciendas and in the exploitation of guano.
The italians created the 1st fire brigade company in Lima, 'Bomberos', in a building next to the old Congress building which now holds the Museo de la Inquisicion (foto 1898).
