Don Bosco’s correspondence is difficult to categorise because of the varied nature of the letters. Many were written by Don Bosco or his secretaries, with the latter often signing on his behalf. The considerable amount of incoming letters, combined with Don Bosco’s declining health in recent years, led to this practice.

Nel presente saggio viene menzionato un periodo tragico per la nostra nazione, la seconda guerra mondiale, e il ruolo cruciale che ebbero i salesiani, coordinati dal Rettor maggiore Pietro Ricaldone, sul territorio piemontese: si impegnarono in un intenso lavoro di solidarietà e di partecipazione operosa.
Fabio Targhetta nel suo saggio ripercorre gli adattamenti apportati al catalogo della casa editrice SEI (Società Editrice Internazionale), espressione del metodo educativo salesiano, durante l’entrata in vigore della riforma Gentile. La SEI ha potuto orientare la produzione scolastica diretta al grado secondario dell’istruzione verso posizioni di «esplicito, anche se rispettoso, anti-idealismo gentiliano», mentre per le scuole elementari ha dovuto piegarsi alle circostanze poiché quei testi erano vincolati ai severi giudizi delle Commissioni ministeriali.

Pietro Braido in his essay (final contribution of the Congress) retraces the central points treated by the various scholars and lists some themes to be explored for future research such as, for example, reflections related to theology or historical events made by the Saint at the “beginnings” of his life, Don Bosco writer and editor for the masses, major publication of critical texts of the sources.
Pietro Scoppola in his essay focuses on the aspects that bring Don Bosco’s work closer to “modernity”. In particular, his educational method is considered modern because it puts the freedom of expression of children in the first place, encouraging their personal resources without imposing pre-established behaviors. Continue reading “Pietro Scoppola – “Don Bosco and «modernity»” in “Don Bosco’s place in history””
The contents of the 58 letters exchanged between Don Bosco and the French Salesian Cooperator, Claire Louvet (their first meeting took place in 1881), reveal much about the Saint’s character, as Itzaina points out in her essay: his interests and his curious nature, his humor, his sensitivity and delicacy in approaching a woman and his opinions on various topics. Continue reading “John Itzaina – “The «Epistolario» of Don Bosco: fifty-eight letters to Clara Louvet” in “Don Bosco’s place in history””
