Perhaps of all the leading political personages of the Italian Risorgimento with whom Don Bosco enjoyed some measure of friendship, Urbano Rattazzi’s name, like Abou Ben Adam’s, led the rest.

La prassi nasce all’interno della pastorale universitaria dell’Arcidiocesi di Torino in sinergia con la Caritas Diocesana, le istituzioni accademiche del territorio civili e religiose, le istituzioni politiche (Città Metropolitana) e il Centro Servizi per il volontariato. La finalità dell’azione è molteplice ed ha diversi piani: da un lato l’educazione dei giovani attraverso il contatto diretto con la fragilità variamente declinata ed incontrata, dall’altro l’implementazione negli enti che per missione stanno accanto alla fragilità delle competenze e della capacità innovativa dei giovani studenti universitari. Ulteriori finalità e motivazioni sono il dialogo e la collaborazione con le istituzioni coinvolte creando così un clima di fiducia reciproca e collaborazione foriero di nuove possibilità di azione pastorale.

The present study aims, not at any new interpretation, but simply at describing some aspects of the actual circumstances of the origins on the basis of fresh documentation now available. In particular, restricting the field of inquiry, I will focus on the young people who were protagonists in Don Bosco’s work at its origin.
But if Marseilles was so close, why did “Paolino” Albera not come to Turin during those final days of January 1888? Why was he not at Don Bosco’s bedside? How did the death of his spiritual father and mentor impact on him?
In the first part of his study on the “Bosco-Gastaldi conflict”, Arthur Lenti drew attention to another figure similarly involved in a painful controversy with the Archbishop of Turin, namely Sr. Marie-Louise-Angelique Clarac, foundress of the Sisters of Charity of St. Mary, also known as the Sisters of Charity of Good Counsel.
Turin’s EXPO ’84 was to become the bittersweet culmination of Don Bosco’s remarkable and varied career as publisher, author, and printer. For almost 40 years he had been active in the cause of the Catholic press and as editor of educational publications.
Included in the copious documentation that comprises the chronicles and annals of the early history of the Salesian Society in the Salesian archives in Rome, there is a treasure trove of diaries, journals, memoirs, and daybooks which chart the ebb and flow of the early years of the Oratory of Saint Francis of Sales.

Don Bosco then goes on to describe the nature and purpose of the Convitto. It was a kind of ‘ finishing school’ where (he says) “one learnt to be a priest.”
This paper will survey that period in Don Bosco’s life that saw him ordained a priest. It will not be a study of Don Bosco the priest.
In carrying out his humble apostolate on behalf of poor and abandoned boys, Saint John Bosco (1815-1888) came into frequent contact with the wealthy and the powerful of Piedmontese society.
In this article M. Ribotta explains Don Bosco’s commitment to promoting education in Turin.

Goffredo Alessandrini (Cairo, September 9, 1904 – Rome, May 16, 1978), was an Italian script writer and film director. In 1935 he directed this film, Don Bosco, starring Gianpaolo Rosmino, Maria Vincenza Stiffi and Ferdinando Mayer. The production company was Lux Film. The music by Girogio Federico Ghedini. The movie spends 90 minutes showing the life of Saint John Bosco (1815 – 1888), mostly in Turin, the founder of the Salesian Order and the education of poor youth that would become global, reaching 132 countries as late as 2015.

L’ampliamento della Basilica di Maria Ausiliatrice è riuscito, al dire di tutti, non solo artistico e imponente, ma anche e soprattutto devoto. I due altari di Maria Ausiliatrice e di San Giovanni
Bosco sono veramente monumentali.
Le feste, decorate dalla porpora di Eminentissimi Principi della Chiesa e da numerosi Vescovi, furono una consolante manifestazione di fede e di pietà cristiana specialmente pel numero
stragrande di fedeli che si accostarono in massa ai Santi Sacramenti. Particolarmente cara e graditissima la presenza dell’Em.mo Card. Hlond e di molti Vescovi. Continue reading “Pietro Ricaldone – Atti del Capitolo superiore della Pia Società salesiana”
La mia ricerca prende le mosse da questa ipotesi di partenza: le informazioni – richieste o spontanee – inviate dalle case particolari e pervenute alla Casa Madre della Congregazione durante il periodo considerato (1880-1922) offrivano – e offrono ancora – elementi non trascurabili per delineare una panoramica complessiva delle opere salesiane professionali nel periodo studiato.
