Bianchi Barriviera will not go back to Ethiopia any more, however the memory of Lalibelà remains alive in the artist’s mind also in the following decades; he continues to study those monuments with unchanged interest, though from afar, doing research in libraries and referring to studies by renowned experts, with many of whom he gets in touch personally or in letter form: a commitment which took shape in some comprehensive and detailed publications by Barriviera himself:
.

                               in “Fede e Arte”, no. 4, October-December 1962;
