The volume, produced by the leadership of the Salesian institute of Vallecrosia together with the organizing committee for the 150th anniversary of the foundation of the Salesian work, and edited by Roberto Capaccio, was published under the patronage of the Liguria Region and the Municipality of Vallecrosia. The result of a year’s work, it emerged from the contribution of an editorial committee composed of Fr Karim Madjidi, Fr Simone Indiati, Domenico Badini, Roberto Capaccio, Claudio Carbone, Ferdinando Giordano, Elvio Lanteri, Ciro Mariella – who conceived the title – and Marino Moraglia.
The presentation was attended by Roberto Capaccio himself, Rector Major Fr Fabio Attard, XI Successor of Don Bosco, Mayor Fabio Perri, the Provincial Fr Roberto Colameo, Fr Simone Indiati – Director of the institute and parish priest of Maria Ausiliatrice – and Fr Karim Madjidi, Director Emeritus. Also present were Regional Councillor Veronica Russo, the municipal administration, current and former priests of the parish, former students and numerous representatives of the city community.
During the meeting, several passages from the book were read, including two significant testimonies, offering those present a taste of the historical and spiritual richness contained in the text.
