In March 2017, the Museo Egizio in Turin, Italy opened an exhibition calledMissione Egitto 1903–1920, exploring the history of the archaeological excavations from which much of the museum's impressive (and impressively displayed) collection derives. Known as the Missione Archeologica Italiana, the excavations were overseen by the museum's then-director, Ernesto Schiaparelli—an esteemed Egyptologist and prominent Catholic philanthropist. “Mission” was one of several terms archaeologists used to identify their work in the colonial Middle East, including Egypt: the Institut Français d'Archéologie Orientale in Cairo originated in 1880 as the “Mission archéologique,” to take just one example (Reid 2002, 175).

修女和枪：关于遗产、历史和埃及学的思考

2017 年 3 月，意大利都灵 Museo Egizio 举办了一场名为埃吉托传教士 1903–1920，探索考古发掘的历史，博物馆的许多令人印象深刻的（和令人印象深刻的展示）收藏品都来自这些考古发掘。被称为 Missione Archeologica Italiana 的发掘工作由博物馆当时的馆长 Ernesto Schiaparelli 监督，他是一位受人尊敬的埃及古物学家和著名的天主教慈善家。“使命”是考古学家用来识别他们在包括埃及在内的殖民中东地区的工作的几个术语之一：开罗的法国东方考古研究所起源于 1880 年的“考古使命”，仅举一个例子（Reid 2002 , 175)。
