History of two Italians in the south Patagonia: one looking for the tracks of the missionaries of don Bosco and the other looking for the locations of a film about Charles Darwin and the indigenous. 1. Historical and chronological Relevance: it makes known an event of historical importance unknown, viz. the centenary of the cross of Cape Froward; 2. Historical and cultural Relevance: it makes one reflect on the extinction of entire indigenous populations which, after surviving for 10,000 years, disappeared within a few decades following contact with European civilization; 3. Relevance for the Church: in bringing together the two main actors it opens a dialogue between science and faith; 4. Educative and religious Relevance: it invites a reflection on the biblical, theological and spiritual significance of that cross planted at the end of the world; 5. Touristic and cultural Relevance: it describes unknown landscapes, abandoned and lifeless, and splendid panoramas of unspoilt nature and absolute silence.
