The southern façade builds a light front with the rhythm given by the vaults of the reinforced concrete porticos. They are made with board-formed concrete. The textured concrete gets with this process reminds us of the irregular walls typical of peasant houses. Such texture shows a light and shadow play depending on the irradiation and the reflected light.

a double-facing room; through a large window
it is possible to perceive the cultivated fields southwards and the cherry and chestnut trees of the underlying wood northwards

a small park was named after Sister Anna Bonfanti
FMA missionary for more than 50 years in Mozambique
in the context of the patronal feast of Valle Guidino – Besana Brianza
missionary for more than 50 years in Mozambique (20 April 1939 – 13 October 2021)
The initiative was born from the pupils of class 5^B of the “Renzo Pezzani” Primary School of Villa Raverio who
surveyed the streets of the four hamlets of Besana – Villa Raverio
and Valle Guidino – noting that out of 94 Streets
the children committed themselves to studying and getting to know some significant local female figures
known to many and through whom many people from the village worked to support the mission in Mozambique
the children presented a formal request to the Municipal Council to dedicate the small park in Piazza San Francesco in Valle Guidino
The feast began with the Eucharistic celebration
which was attended by the city authorities
the former students of the 5th B with their teacher
and three Daughters of Mary Help of Christians of Holy Family Community of Contra di Missaglia (LC)
In the introduction to the Mass and in the homily
recalled the missionary dedication of Sister Anna
“a light of hope lit in Mozambique.”
Sister Emilia Musatti read a brief greeting congratulating the children for the realization of the project
thanking on behalf of the Institute for this initiative
and recalling some aspects of the figure and work of this Sister:
I would like to congratulate the children of the former 5th B who
and pushed for this project to be realized that promotes the knowledge and memory of a woman
of a great missionary Daughter of Mary Help of Christians
You met a woman who had big dreams and with the help of God and everyone she had the courage to make them come true
May it be like this as well for you children and young people
I also express heartfelt thanks for this recognition of the person of Sister Anna
who lived our educational charism with passion and courage
Together with the sisters of her Community with whom she dreamed and struggled
Sister Anna created great projects for the human
but strong and courageous in the realization of her missionary dreams
she demonstrated the truth of the words of St
‘When you love you don’t struggle
the effort itself is loved.’ Sister Anna truly made the anguish and hopes of the Mozambican people her own
especially those of the young women with whom she loved
She was able to involve many people in the realization of her projects
especially family members who with creativity financially supported the educational works that sought to respond to the ‘cry’ emerging from the situations of war
I remember ‘Don Bosco Center’ that can speak of many students who today are professionals in the fields of medicine and engineering
mothers of families who fight for a better world”
Sister Emilia concluded her talk by inviting the young people to welcome the ‘passing of the torch’ by Sister Anna
The assembly then moved to the nearby Park. After the words of the Mayor, Emanuele Pozzoli, who recalled the process of the initiative, there was the unveiling of the plaque and the blessing by the Parish Priest (Unica TV service)
The children of the former 5th then proclaimed some traits of Sister Anna’s personality
A significant moment was the reading of some parts of Sister Anna’s biography
The Mozambican woman: the future for a new world” elaborated by Giovanna Bonfanti
one of her sisters who had collected her stories and testimonies
A song by the Alpine troops on friendship and fraternity concluded the encounter which was followed by cordial refreshments
Sister Anna Bonfanti was born in Valle Guidino
the second child of 10 brothers and sisters
she decided to leave everything to follow the Lord among the Daughters of Mary Help of Christians
she made her First Profession in Contra di Missaglia (LC)
a mission she had dreamed of for many years
where she worked as a teacher at the Normal School
where teachers-catechists were prepared for the elementary schools scattered throughout the various missions of the Diocese
remember her with gratitude for being an excellent mathematics teacher
Her educational project had as its objective the moral and cultural growth of the African woman
who in local tradition was considered only in the family context
the missionaries were forced to leave the country
The only place where they could still remain was Pemba
where Sister Anna was first a teacher and then Animator of the Community
tested and consolidated over time also in contact with the challenges of the regime
she was assigned to Mother Rosetta Marchese Community of Maputo Jardim
Seeing the educational needs of the younger generations
she began to organize professional courses in cutting and sewing
She thus created Don Bosco Professional Center
Her activity continued until a few months before her death
Filial abandonment in the Lord also characterized this last period of her missionary life
Her faith was manifested daily in her sincere and grateful smile
