In the course of several years, Vivi Papi photographed the works of Isidoro Bianchi da Campione (Campione d'Italia 1581-1662), an artist active from the early 1600s until his death; namely:
- 1971: photographic campaign on the many works of the author preserved in the Ghirli sanctuary in Campione d'Italia, to mark the end of a cycle of restoration work and to produce a guidebook of the sanctuary (10x12 cm black/white negatives are kept in the archive).
- 1988: the works preserved in the Ghirli Sanctuary were again photographed, this time with color slides in formats from 24x36 to 10x12 cm, for a monograph edited by the municipality of Campione d'Italia dedicated exclusively to the sanctuary.
- 1993: On behalf of the Municipality of Campione d'Italia, Vivi Papi carried out a photographic campaign dedicated exclusively to the works of Isidoro Bianchi. This was followed by a publication by Maria De Angelis, Isidoro Bianchi (Bergamo, Bolis, 1993).
The photographs kept in the archive (on positive film and in part also on black/white and color negatives in formats from 24x36 to 10x12 cm) are much more numerous than those published and they document several details of the works and the exterior of the buildings in which they are housed.
