  • Piazza San Carlo
    BOTTEGHE STORICHE CHIESE E CAPPELLE PALAZZI ED EDIFICI STORICI ToTo TORINO TOUR FOR ALL ARCHITECTURE PLACES SITI ARCHEOLOGICI MONUMENTI IL QUADRILATEROARCHITETTURA URBANA POINT OF INTEREST 1 PIAZZA CASTELLO Torino Tour for All begins in the very heart of the city, piazza Castello, which spans about 40 thousand square meters. It is bordered to the northeast by piazzetta Reale and it merges four of the main downtown roads: via Garibaldi (a pedestrian street), via Po, via Roma and via Pietro Micca. During the Savoy reign, and then in the post-Unification period, Piazza Castello was the center of the Piedmontese State. It is surrounded on three sides by monumental porches, built in different times. In the mid XIX century, the west arcades were nicknamed Arcades of the Fair, because of the market housed during Carnival. On Piazza Castello there are several historical buildings, starting from via Garibaldi and proceed- ing clockwise: Palace of the Regional Council, Church of San Lorenzo, Royal Palace, Royal Library and Armory, State Archives, Government Palace (now the Prefecture Palace), Royal The- atre and the Galleria dell’Industria Subalpina (Subalpine Gallery of Industry). At the center of the square there is Palazzo Madama. Ascanio Vitozzi, architect of the Duke of Savoy Carlo Emanuele I, designed piazza Castello start- ing from 1587. The square was born to frame in a neat space the existing Senate and to accom- modate the Novo Palazzo Grande, today’s Royal Palace. Despite the architectural interventions of 1612 and 1773, piazza Castello maintains its configuration in three areas: the oldest, whose structure dates back to Roman times, on the side of Via Garibaldi, the area connecting Piazza Castello to the river through Via Po and the area of the Piazzetta Reale which was once divided from the square by a brick wall.

  • Reconstructing Don Albera's Reading List 211 Text
    STUDI RECONSTRUCTING DON ALBERA’S READING LIST Joseph Boenzi* Between 1892 and 1910, Don Paolo Albera (1845-1921) was called upon to articulate the Salesian spirit for many groups within the Salesian family. This period coincides with Paolo Albera’s service on the Salesian Superior Chapter as Spiritual Director General. These were defining years for D. Albera and for the office he held. For if the role of the “Catechist General” or “Spiritual Director General” had been fluid until the time of his election, Paolo Albera helped to set the parameters for this office. He clarified the re­ sponsibilities of the Spiritual Director General as a member of the Superior Chapter and within the Salesian Society as a whole. The previous Spiritual Director General, D. Giovanni Bonetti (1838­ 1891), had been quite adept in the field of public relations. His pamphlets and books were popular, instructive, and even controversial1. His most important literary contribution, the Bollettino Salesiano, popularized Don Bosco’s works and personality to the point of gaining many supporters for the saint’s projects both throughout Italy and abroad. D. Albera’s writings and especially his preaching ministry seemed more in tune with formative aspects of his role on the council. The need was evi­ dent. The growing reputation of the Salesians’ saintly founder John Bosco (thanks, no doubt, to D. Bonetti’s own publishing campaign) brought many eager young applicants to join Salesian ranks. The early Salesians had grown up with the founder, but if this rising generation of newcomers was to assimi­ late Don Bosco’s spirit, more systematic training was necessary.

  • La Santa Sede
    La Santa Sede BENEDETTO XVI UDIENZA GENERALE Piazza San Pietro Mercoledì, 30 giugno 2010 San Giuseppe CafassoCari fratelli e sorelle,abbiamo da poco concluso l’Anno Sacerdotale: un tempo di grazia, che ha portato e porterà frutti preziosi alla Chiesa; un’opportunità per ricordare nella preghiera tutti coloro che hanno risposto a questa particolare vocazione. Ci hanno accompagnato in questo cammino, come modelli e intercessori, il Santo Curato d’Ars ed altre figure di santi sacerdoti, vere luci nella storia della Chiesa. Oggi, come ho annunciato mercoledì scorso, vorrei ricordarne un’altra, che spicca sul gruppo dei “Santi sociali” nella Torino dell’Ottocento: si tratta di san Giuseppe Cafasso.Il suo ricordo appare doveroso perché proprio una settimana fa ricorreva il 150° anniversario della morte, avvenuta nel capoluogo piemontese il 23 giugno 1860, all’età di 49 anni. Inoltre, mi piace ricordare che il Papa Pio XI, il 1° novembre 1924, approvando i miracoli per la canonizzazione di san Giovanni Maria Vianney e pubblicando il decreto di autorizzazione per la beatificazione del Cafasso, accostò queste due figure di sacerdoti con le seguenti parole: “Non senza una speciale e benefica disposizione della Divina Bontà abbiamo assistito a questo sorgere sull’orizzonte della Chiesa cattolica di nuovi astri, il parroco d’Ars, ed il Venerabile Servo di Dio, Giuseppe Cafasso. Proprio queste due belle, care, provvidamente opportune figure ci si dovevano oggi presentare; piccola e umile, povera e semplice, ma altrettanto gloriosa la figura del parroco d’Ars, e l’altra bella, grande, complessa, ricca figura di sacerdote, maestro e formatore di sacerdoti, il Venerabile Giuseppe Cafasso”.
