A man of vast culture and eclectic interests, he has managed to conciliate the Service with other activities carried on at a professional level in which he has acted as researcher, writer, and lecturer. He has organized and led two scientific expeditions to the Antarctic (in 1976 and 1978), and has continued to contribute with publications and lectures to the present Italian commitment in that continent. A member of the Italian Scientific Institution "Centro Camuno di Studi Preistorici," he continues to co-operate with the renowned Professor Emmanuel Anati and regularly participates in his archaeological researches in Israel. Barbiero is the author of various articles and books on different subjects, ranging from geology to the Bible.
