ENGLISH
An “indiano” - often cited with the popular names of americano [- is how the adventurers and traders were known in Catalonia who, having emigrated to the Spanish colonies in America, returned to the metropolis after making a fortune. His dress was of great elegance and he gave them a gentle breath that distinguished them from the rest of the population. Typically American clothing: clear trousers, vest with gold-plated rings, a large silk scarf in the neck and the jipi (a Panama hat).
Some, when returning, built large mansions (houses of “indianos”) who, despite of ostentation of what had prospered, nowadays are an excellent example of the best architecture of the second half of the nineteenth century and first third of the twentieth century. Possibly the “indiano” most famous born in Sitges.
The most famous “indiano” born in Sitges is Facundo Bacardí. He followed his older brothers to Cuba, finding employment in their general store in Santiago. In 1862 the partners acquired a distillery and constituted the firm "Bacardí, Boutellier, and Company", using capital supplied by Facundo's younger brother José. Having started in retailing, Bacardi understood how to sell things, and realized that his innovative drink would benefit from good branding. He began to sign each shipment of rum with a bold "Bacardí M" (for Bacardi Massó); in addition, he used the now iconic bat as the brand's image.

CATALÀ
Un indià —sovint citat amb els noms populars d'indiano o americano[— és com es coneixia a Catalunya els aventurers i comerciants que després d'haver emigrat a les colònies espanyoles a Amèrica, tornaven a la metròpoli després d'haver fet fortuna (havent “fet les Amèriques”).
La seva vestimenta era d'una gran elegància i els donava un aire senyorívol que els distingia de la resta de la població. Indumentària típicament americana: pantalons clars, armilla amb relluents botons daurats, un gran mocador de seda al coll i el jipi (un barret de Panamà).
Alguns, en tornar, van construir grans mansions (cases d'indians) que, tot i ser filles de l'ostentació del que havia prosperat, avui dia són un excel·lent exemple de la millor arquitectura de la segona meitat del segle XIX i primer terç del segle XX.
