In 1971 he began his path as a biblical scholar with a Bible Course on the Gospel of Matthew. His passion for Scripture and exegetical methodology were initially given to him through his attendance at the Ecumenical Community of Bose and, later, were deepened at the Theological Faculty of Turin and through daily personal study. Every year, in the Diocese of Turin and in other Italian Dioceses, he holds numerous Bible courses, conferences and retreats, always on scriptural topics, where he seeks to provide the interpretative keys to the chosen biblical subject, with historical, literary, exegetical and spiritual references, with the sole aim of leading participants to a personal encounter with the Sacred Text, coming to engage with it and above all to pray the Word. He writes books on biblical topics and collaborates with print and online periodicals for the biblical page. He curates the meditations on the Sunday Gospel for the Misericordie on spaziospadoni.org under the heading \u201cBuona misericordia a tutti!\u201d.<\/p><\/div><a class=\"ss-author-card__link\" href=\"https:\/\/spaziospadoni.org\/en\/author\/mission_damy\/\">Go to articles<\/a><\/div><div class=\"ss-author-card\"><div class=\"ss-author-card__avatar\"><img src=\"https:\/\/spaziospadoni.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Pellicci-150x150.png\" alt=\"Chiara Pellicci\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"><\/div><h3 class=\"ss-author-card__name\">Chiara Pellicci<\/h3><div class=\"ss-author-card__country\"><img class=\"ss-country-flag\" src=\"https:\/\/spaziospadoni.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/flags\/72x54\/it.webp\" alt=\"Italy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"> Italy<\/div><div class=\"ss-author-card__bio ss-author-bio\" data-max-lines=\"0\"><p>Professional journalist, she lives in Lucca.

He came to know the Salesians of Treviglio and, fascinated by them, on August 16, 1954, made his religious profession in the Salesian Congregation. He graduated in Mathematics and Physics. He became a priest on April 10, 1965. Teaching and youth pastoral activities intertwined during the years he spent in Bologna, Pavia and Treviglio. At the Salesian Institute of Treviglio he taught mathematics and physics. In 1974, in Treviglio, he founded the non-governmental organization (NGO) Amici del Rwanda, later transformed into Amici dei Popoli, which enabled him to provide concrete aid for human development, but above all allowed him to give life to a form of education for global awareness that consists in preparing groups of young people whom he then accompanies to live for a month at Salesian missions, a kind of \u201cmaster\u2019s in humanity at the school of the poor\u201d. In 1978 he was sent to Bologna as Parish Priest and Director of the Community in the Parish of San Giovanni Bosco: ten years of pastoral, social and missionary activities. His superiors called him to Turin in 1988 for two closely connected assignments: to give life to VIS, Volontariato Internazionale per lo Sviluppo, and to be the Missionary Animator for all Salesian Italy. He moved the headquarters of VIS to Rome, where the NGO flourished and reached the whole world with human development projects. Conferences, publications, educational aids and profiles of missionaries for missionary animation flourished, culminating every year in the Basilica of Mary Help of Christians in Turin in a three-day event called Haramb\u00e8e, which has become a stable national appointment. With this missionary spirit, he prepares and accompanies hundreds of volunteers who, for two or more years, support the Salesians\u2019 human development projects in Poor Countries. Since 2009 he has been responsible for the management of the Salesian Work of the Sacred Heart in Bologna.<\/p><\/div><a class=\"ss-author-card__link\" href=\"https:\/\/spaziospadoni.org\/en\/author\/mission_colombo\/\">Go to articles<\/a><\/div><div class=\"ss-author-card\"><div class=\"ss-author-card__avatar\"><img src=\"https:\/\/spaziospadoni.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Braghini-150x150.png\" alt=\"Fra Paolo Maria Braghini\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"><\/div><h3 class=\"ss-author-card__name\">Friar Paolo Maria Braghini<\/h3><div class=\"ss-author-card__country\"><img class=\"ss-country-flag\" src=\"https:\/\/spaziospadoni.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/flags\/72x54\/it.webp\" alt=\"Italy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"> Italy<\/div><div class=\"ss-author-card__bio ss-author-bio\" data-max-lines=\"0\"><p>A Capuchin Friar Minor born in 1975, he spent almost 20 years as a missionary in Alto Solim\u00f5es, in the Amazon region on the border between Brazil and Peru.

His education was deeply marked by his experience in a Salesian boarding school, where there was a strong missionary sensitivity. For over fifty years he has been a Confrere of the Misericordia di Camaiore e Lido, and he was among the founders of the Misericordia del Lido di Camaiore. As a boy, he worked at the historic Hotel Souvenir in Lido di Camaiore, owned by his father Giuseppe and his mother Bianca Maria. His parents taught him the importance of responsibility, because \u201cevery action has weight\u201d and \u201cfreedom is not a right, but a conscious choice to do good\u201d. It was in their example that he grew up, inclined to faith and hope, to live the present and look to the future with confidence, even in difficulty. He interrupted his university studies to work with a leading ambulance outfitter as a sales agent and product developer. In 1988 he founded Spencer Italia, a company producing medical devices for emergency and rescue. His intuitions, ideas and entrepreneurial spirit created a reality that became a world leader in the EMS sector, able to respond to the demands of a constantly growing and continuously changing market. For more than thirty years, Luigi invented and patented life-saving equipment, developed markets in every country of the world, cultivated personal relationships with the thousands of people he dealt with and created hundreds of jobs. In 2020 he sold the company with the star to dedicate himself to a new phase of his life, leaving behind a dynamic, healthy reality respected everywhere for its solidity. It was then that he began to give shape to his dream, spazio + spadoni, a movement of Catholic inspiration that combines mercy and missionary spirit through relationships with missionary female religious congregations and volunteer associations around the world. His private collection of historic ambulances from all over the world became a museum open to visitors in 2010 and is located in the province of Parma. In 2023 he received honorary citizenship of the city of Rosolini (SR) and the Palma d\u2019argento \u2013 Iustus ut palma florebit award established by the Diocese of Acireale together with Rosario Valastro, President of the Italian Red Cross.<\/p><\/div><a class=\"ss-author-card__link\" href=\"https:\/\/spaziospadoni.org\/en\/author\/luigispsp\/\">Go to articles<\/a><\/div><div class=\"ss-author-card\"><div class=\"ss-author-card__avatar\"><img src=\"https:\/\/spaziospadoni.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/bruni-150x150.png\" alt=\"Luigino Bruni\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"><\/div><h3 class=\"ss-author-card__name\">Luigino Bruni<\/h3><div class=\"ss-author-card__country\"><img class=\"ss-country-flag\" src=\"https:\/\/spaziospadoni.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/flags\/72x54\/it.webp\" alt=\"Italy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"> Italy<\/div><div class=\"ss-author-card__bio ss-author-bio\" data-max-lines=\"0\"><p>Economist and historian of economic thought.
