PIER GIORGIO FRASSATI A Hero for Our Times by CRISTINA SICCARDI
In this biography, the author situates the young Pier Giorgio Frassati in early twentieth-century Turin, Italy where there are two contrasting forms of enterprise: one that is attentive to the values of patriotism and integrity; the other tending toward the more acquisitive forms of capitalism. Pier Giorgio chose for the social doctrine of the Catholic Church. He assisted in many charitable works serving the poor and needy and developed a spirituality of engaged and diligent action. His devotion to friendship and sports was extraordinary, with a special love for mountain climbing, which was for him a symbol of striving for perfection in virtue. Paper.
