Chieri, Italy - May 2015 - On 31 May, the mayor of Chieri, Claudio Martano, conferred honorary citizenship of the city on Fr Ángel Fernández Artime, Rector Major of the Salesians, to honour the deep bond that Don Bosco had with the city. He lived there, in very poor conditions, from 1831 to 1841, the years of his cultural and spiritual formation, and it was there he learned all the trades he later taught to the boys at the Oratory of Valdocco. |
