In those years, '60-mountainous region of Galicia, northwest Spain, began to assume an international reputation for Archaeology and Rock Art, is the vastness of the area concerned, is the arc length of time covered by petroglyphs, both the rich iconographic, thematic and cosmetically signs engraved in granite galiego. Therefore
in Pinerolo decided to start a mission of research on rock art in that extreme edge of Europe facing the Atlantic Ocean.
A book that we had consulted, and that he had given the maximum impulse start of the project, had been the Corpus Petroglyphorum Gallaeciae, published in Santiago de Compostela in 1935 by Ramón Sobrino Buhigas, which still operates today, after about 70 years, has preserved its high value of rigorous documentation and methodologically sound, a very symbolic event and a rare mastery of archaeological in Art Rock.
Another text that had been stimulated was rock art in the western regions of the Iberian Peninsula, a book that was given to proofreading one of the undersigned (ds) from 'author Emmanuel Anat.
were made contacts with scholars at the University of Santiago de Compostela and the Museum of Pontevedra: Borgna made his first visit to Galicia in 1969, headed the Mission in 1970 and he made a third in 1971. The Mission of the 1970
CeSMAP of Pinerolo was supported by the aid of the Presidency of the RIV-SKF Industries, which also put a mini-bus FIAT 850 for travel and transport archaeological field equipment. It was the most important of the three missions carried out for the great amount of work, result achieved thanks to the high competence of the team that consisted of seven Italian (Giulio Cesare Borgna, John Bessone, Raffaele Fontanini, Edoardo Gilardi, Tere Grindatto, Piero Ricchiardi, Dario Seglia) with the collaboration of three Spaniards (Fermin Bouza-Brey Trillo, Director of the Seminario de Estudos Galegos, José Filgueira Valverde, Director of the Museo Provincial de Pontevedra, Carlos Manuel Garcia Martinez, University of Santiago de Compostela). What
main focal point was chosen the village of Campo Lameiro, in the province of Pontevedra, in the center of an area rich in rock art, with logistics base installed in the inn owned by the family of Rafael Lake Novas, Mayor of the small mountain village.
