Welcome from Scotland, Micaela!
I can tell you it's an Italian bike: the rims (cerchi) were made by Limone &co, a quick Google shows Limone being a town in Piemonte near Lago di Garda well known for mountain biking. Limone is also near Torino.
In Torino the saddle bag was made, here is a link for one similar for sale-click on the blue bit, it's in Italian but you may be able to understand.
It stands to reason, a lot of Italians emigrated to Argentina, one of them brought their bike with them!
Is there not a logo on the front of the bike? Can you take a picture from the other side?
The bike is very old, but the tyres don't seem so old.
Ciao!

Ola Micaela, that is a lovely bike - some very unusual parts, is that art deco thing on the handle bars a rack?

I've put a post on Facebook. Your bike seems to be an Olmo. It was made in Italy and has hydraulic brakes.

The internal cabling to the rear brake down by the chainstays foreshadows some more modern developments. Of course, those features are now all to do with aerodynamics; on that bike it looks more like a simple joy of innovation. A very special bike. Plus it's very attractive.
