Nelle terre dei sogni di Don Bosco (Imaginary journey through the regions dreamed of by Don Bosco)

There’s a little bit of Italy at Fin del Mundo, and it was precisely Alberto Maria De Agostini who left the trail. A Salesian missionary, climber, photographer and documentary maker, writer, naturalist and cartographer, he set off from Piedmont in 1910 to carry out his missionary activities in the lands of Magellano, in the area that was to become a second home for him, to the extent that his nickname was “Father Patagonia”. The exhibition in Trento is an imaginary journey through the regions dreamed of by Don Bosco, the Saint and founder of the Salesian order. The photographs are of high quality – taken from the 1910s to the middle of the 1950s – printed from De Agostini’s negatives or phototypes, conserved in the Museomontagna.

Organised by Museo Nazionale della Montagna "Duca degli Abruzzi" - Torino and by Camera di Commercio Industria Artigianato e Agricoltura di Trento.
