To him, we owe the last photos of the Alakaluf, Ona, Tehuelche, and Yamana Indios, populations that are now extinct. If today we know how much the ice has receded at the end of the American continent, it is thanks to the comparison between the current satellite photos and those he took at the beginning of the century. His photographic and film footage made it possible to establish the boundaries on the peaks of the Argentine-Chilean Andes almost a century ago. If today there is an impressive tourist flow in Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego, it is thanks to his tourist guides, his films, and his books. In the hall of the Salesian Pontifical University (Piazza Ateneo Salesiano, 1) there is a photographic, archival, and bibliographical exhibition.
Programs, information, and abstracts of the presentations can already be found on the Salesian Historical Institute website "iss.sdb.org", while the work sessions can be followed online on the YouTube Channel of the Salesian Pontifical University at 5:00 p.m., Italian time, on Monday, April 25, and at 3:00 p.m. on Tuesday, April 26 and Wednesday, April 27.
