Gauchillos' follows the footsteps of Gauchito Gil and San La Muerte, two of many folk saints not recognized by the Roman Catholic Church but who are venerated in Argentina. Gauchito Gil was allegedly born in the area of Mercedes, Corrientes, around the 1840s and died on January 8, 1878. He became a mystical symbol of bravery, stealing from the rich and giving to the poor. The book includes evocative pictures of the pilgrims, the prayer centers, those saved or cured by miracles, and the gauchos arriving on horses in Mercedes to celebrate the death of Gil. Devotees of San La Muerte, who is depicted as a male skeletal figure holding a scythe, make offerings in hopes of favors ranging from health, fortune, protection, and revenge. Meneguzzo took these photographs of Argentine folk culture in Corrientes, El Chaco, Missiones, and Buenos Aires.

Toni Meneguzzo, born in Italy in 1949, is an internationally acclaimed photographer who has worked for over 30 years in fashion. He pioneered a unique technique of shooting large- format Polaroids, which became Meneguzzo’s trademark and was soon adopted by many artists. His work has been exhibited internationally, both in solo and group exhibitions, and has been published in the New York Times, Harpers’ Bazaar, and Elle, among others. His stop-motion videos have been shown at the Triennale Design Museum in Milan, at the Musée des Arts décoratifs du Louvre in Paris, and at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York.
