Luigi Domenico Gismondi (9 August 1872 – 1946) was an Italian prolific photographer, photographic-supplies vendor, and postcard publisher active in Bolivia and the areas of southern Peru and northern Chile.

Gismondi was a pioneer in photography in Bolivia, documenting various cultural aspects and numerous personalities while at the same time creating a comprehensive exhibit of regional architecture and geography.

The siblings traveled across Peru, including Lima, Cusco, and Arequipa, with services ranging from oil, watercolor, and pastel portraits, to historical and mythological paintings, to décor styled after the Italian Renaissance.

[2][4] Though Gismondi's work primarily focused on the city and department of La Paz, his photographic career also took him to nearly the entire territory of the country, including cross-border projects in central and southern Peru and northern Chile, as well as some in Argentina and Paraguay.

[9][10] Apart from the cultural relevance of his works, Gismondi also contributed heavily to the practice of photography in South America, bringing with him Italian technology and equipment like curtains, carpets, cameras, chemical material for developing, glass plates, and acetate, among others.
