Villa Fiorito is suburb in the Lomas de Zamora Partido (formerly in Lanús Partido) in Buenos Aires Province, to the south of central Buenos Aires. It forms part of the Greater Buenos Aires urban conurbation. Many Italian and Spanish descendants live there, but in recent decades people from other provinces have come to live near central Buenos Aires, creating new slums in the city. Maradona, arguably the best footballer of all time, was born in Villa Fiorito.
