The history of your Association
it is made up of many “saints next door” – many! –,
and it is a story that must continue:
holiness is a heritage to be guarded and a vocation to be welcomed.
"The sun will shine soon," Carlo Bianchi wrote to his family from Milan's San Vittore prison. In reality, this hope would never come true, and he was shot in Fossoli on July 12, 1944. His testimony, however, has remained alive and shines today more than ever. Raised in Catholic Action and the Italian Federation of Catholic University Students (FUCI), during the Second World War he worked for the poor and disadvantaged, later joining the resistance with Teresio Olivelli's Fiamme Verdi and with Oscar, an organization created by several priests to facilitate the expatriation of those hunted by the Nazis and Fascists. Aware of the risks he was taking, he continued his work to lay the foundations for a better world. Even to the point of sacrificing his life.
