The installation in Santa Fe, his native city, of an Industrial bakery where 1200 kilos of bread are produced and distributed among poor families in the neighborhood of Santa Rosa de Lima. It was inaugurated in 1988, with the help of the province Governor.
With the aim of promoting culture, he traveled to Italy. He visited museums, ateliers, and art galleries until he found what he was searching for: three copies of the most important Carrara marble sculptures by Michelangelo dated from the year 1500: The Mosses, The David, and The Pieta. After overcoming numerous difficulties, they were placed in Cerro Otto, at 1405 m of altitude. They are exact copies of the originals, made of 80% marble powder and 20 % resin at Pietro Bazzanti e Figlio art gallery in Florence, Italy.
