Catholic Church used missionary exhibitions in XIXth and XXth centuries to promote its contributions to thought, art, culture and to spread the usefulness of the institution in building a modern and civilized society. This is a study of the representation of a native group settled in the present departments of Chuquisaca, Tarija and Santa Cruz (Bolivia), developped from the collection of photos on the missions among Chiriguano, sent by Fr. Doroteo Giannecchini to the Esposizione d’Arte Sacra e delle Missioni e delle Opere Cattoliche (Torino, 1898), and from the article dedicated to that collection by Amalia Capello in Arte Sacra (1898)
