Massimo Schwarzel – Il modello formativo salesiano delle origini nella “Cronichetta” di don Giulio Barberis
Don Giulio Barberis (1847-1927), primo maestro dei novizi della Società Salesiana, ci ha lasciato un’importante testimonianza su Don Bosco e sulla vita dell’oratorio di Valdocco nei quindici quaderni della sua “Cronichetta”. In essa riporta le attività dell’oratorio, detti e fatti della vita di Don Bosco e alcune riflessioni dal 1875 al 1879. Da ciò emerge chiaramente quello che era l’ambiente formativo di Valdocco in quegli anni, la sua struttura organizzativa e le strategie educative, i punti di forza e quelli più deboli, con il continuo lavoro di Don Bosco e dei primi salesiani per rendere sempre più efficace l’opera a favore della gioventù, alla cui forte espansione in Italia e all’estero stavano assistendo (è proprio del 1875 la prima spedizione missionaria in Argentina).
