Los Guaicas, Venezuela - February 1960 - One of Venezuela's great missionary figures is Fr Luigi Cocco, who since 1951 lived for 23 years in the Amazon missions of Santa María de Los Guaicas. Studying their customs and traditions, he offered people human and evangelizing promotion with great depth and respect for the local culture. In the picture, Fr Cocco appears with some signs of thanks addressed to Fiat, Italy, for the gift of a tractor.
