Walking tours

Without me, every episode of CSI would be a different story.

Congratulations! You followed the clues and solved the case! Or… did you just stumble upon the statue? Anyhow … you just found The Detective! What detective, you might ask. Well - the gentleman sitting right in front of you. Who may he be? Hmmm… Take a closer look. Yes, he IS holding a magnifying glass, but it is not - Sherlock Holmes. Yes, he HAS got a mustache, but it is not - HerculePoirot. No,no… In front of you is the great Ivan Vučetić! A real life detective born in Croatia in the 19th century, who made his career in Argentina.

Ivan Vučetić is considered to be the father of dactyloscopy- the science of fingerprint identification. In order to solve a murder Vučetić took all ten fingerprints from a suspect and compared them with the bloody fingerprints at the crime scene. Matching the prints he linked the suspect with the crime scene and thus undeniably confirmed the killer. A new method of solving crime was born - the fingerprint method! Today Vucetic’s fingerprint method is used in many countries around the world, from Argentina to Croatia.
