It has always been considered the highest literary figure of the city of Esperanza, whose community has honored and remembered on many occasions. In 1999, on the occasion of the centenary of his birth, on 21 September, a Tribute Committee carries out various activities to remember the poet. In particular, a special publication of the newspaper The West Settler by Esperanza, developed by Professor Nelly Morandi Müller, which chronicles his life through his own poetic work, enriching the story with multiple photographic images that reflect different stages of the life of José Pedroni, from his private collection which were presented by the poet's family.
