Don Bosco

Nineteenth century, Piedmont, Italy. In Turin, the priest Don Bosco, a man from a humble farming family, dedicated himself completely and passionately to rescuing marginalized children from the streets and providing for them. He sought not only to lift them out of poverty, ignorance, and social distress, but also to help them experience love for the first time. He fought with extraordinary faith and tenacity to overcome the obstacles and challenges placed in his way by both civil and ecclesiastical authorities, who sought to prevent him from achieving his goal: the founding of the Congregation of the Salesians, which would ensure the future of these children.
