Abstract
This paper presents a series of reflections which have come to light through the preparation and the setting up of an exhibition made up of a selection of photographs taken by Renato Boccassino in Uganda in 1933-34. The Italian ethnologist produced extensive ethnographic documentation about the Acholi people including, in addition to the photographs, notebooks, diaries of his fieldwork, postcards and some sound recordings. The perspective was to bring out the fieldwork methodology and the ethnographic approach of Renato Boccassino.
