Italy – April 2025 – On Sunday
the ADMA group of Piemonte continued its spiritual formation journey themed “Prayer and Prayers” with a gathering at the Salesian house in Cumiana (Turin)
the new leadership council for the Primary ADMA group—set to take office on May 24—was introduced
The day concluded with the celebration of Mass and a special prayer for Fr
the newly elected Rector Major of the Salesians
Roberto Carelli emphasized that what we hope for is always good
I hope in your goodness.” Christian hope
is based on God’s promises and the merits of Jesus Christ
and the grace needed to attain it through good works
The Act of Hope ends with a heartfelt plea: “Lord
may I enjoy You forever,” a prayer for perseverance until the end—so one may stand before God and say
finds fulfillment in possessing the One we have long sought

The monographic volume dedicated to Ottavio Mazzonis (1921-2010)
edited by Giuseppe Luigi Marini and published by Allemandi in 1993
opens with an image of the Maestro absorbed in the study of his own works; enveloped in that eternal self-critical rigour that distinguished him
together with his expertise in savoir faire
it becomes increasingly clear how much his sceptical thinking about the new artistic vision as opposed to continuity would only bear sterile fruit
totally contrary to his way of thinking about art
Mazzonis's modus operandi was subservient to the laws of a solitary but salvific movement
within which the male portraits all take on his likeness and the landscape - largely linked to the imagery of Böcklin and Klinger - becomes the prince in a work of art that wants him in perfect symbiosis and in masterly dialogue with the characters
A life spent in the painstaking and scientific pursuit of continuity
but feeling the constant presence of his Masters
perceptible in its absolute contemporaneity
His was a new Renaissance that has given life to a personal vision of the women of the Gospels
as well as to a Way of the Cross exhibited at the Museo Parmeggiani in Cento in 2003
which - in its superb beauty - gives us the opportunity to dwell on the 14th Station: The Burial
where a sense of resigned peace pervades the canvas
The light falls in the centre of the painting and emphasises the relationship between Mother and Son
leaving us dazzled as we recognise in the sudden movement of the standing figure
the solemnity of Bistolfi's Angel of Death (visible at the Monumental Cemetery in Turin)
This symbolises a complete reinvention of religious art by Mazzonis
while maintaining a visible continuity with a Master from the past
are the decorations of the Sanctuary of the Sanità
examples of that fil-rouge that always bound him to the Sacred and Sacredness but
within which past and present are not opposed
It is not for nothing that Ottavio Mazzonis lives on in the words of Vittorio Sgarbi
who describes him as “rigorous but not academic
the studies on melancholy and the dreamlike and mythological atmospheres of his works are vivid and tangible examples of this
which can be admired at the Mazzonis Foundation in Turin
which survives him thanks to the indomitable and daring care of its President for life: Silvia Pirracchio
Side by side with Mazzonis for thirty years
Silvia is now the elected witness of what was a true communion of intentions
Mazzonis painted her (and painted himself alongside her) incessantly
turning her into the keeper of countless keys to interpretation
Details that he explained to us in our interview
together with the future he hopes for the Foundation
The importance of his legacy has always been of fundamental importance to me
I can mention in this sense some of the monographic exhibitions at the Reggia di Venaria (2018)
at the Accorsi-Ometto Foundation (2015) and in Mondovì (2014)
the theme of motherhood was investigated and I chose
thirty works by the Maestro put in relation with others of ancient art from the rich collections of his family - among whose names are Legnanino and Solimena - most of which are already preserved in the historic Turin palace
Exhibitions that have been very successful
has always been quite isolated from the art scene in Turin
apart from private galleries such as Fogliato
organising an exhibition in Turin - in fact - has always been difficult
I believe that the city has never really felt him to be a leading exponent
perhaps because of a certain school of thought in Turin that is too tied to the avant-garde
Although he was professionally linked to Tiziano Forni
in the last period of his life he was pessimistic about the future of his legacy
often wonder who - after me - will dedicate themselves to his work with the same respect and continuity
I have been committed to giving him maximum visibility
even taking him to the Biennale - thanks to Sgarbi's supervision - with the project for the altarpieces of Noto Cathedral
His Tiepolism in his studies of light is famous
gave him the opportunity to mirror the enlightenment of Tiepolo and to approach composition freely
when he sensed that the pictorial composition was as he wished
he devoted himself to sculpture; as he was born as an artist under the guidance of the sculptor Calderini
depicting Silvia and exhibited at the 1999 monographic exhibition in Aosta
constantly listening to the possibilities offered by the past
a true guiding spirit in the search for intonation and the simplification of pain
When he elaborated the composition and searched for it in the synthesis of light
One thinks of Böcklin's islands (which I exhibited in Mondovì)
won over by the particularity of the movement
I dedicate it to you because it was exhibited in '61 at the Quadriennale in Rome and that is the year you were born
it will be one of my bequests to the Foundation”
Sgarbi immediately fell in love with it and Flora Giubilei included it in a large monographic exhibition dedicated to Duncan
which was very successful both in Florence and Rovereto
Painting and sculpture were one and the same for Mazzonis
Let us also think about the relationship with Wolfgang Alexander Kossuth [Editor's note: Kossuth dedicated one of the many splendid sculptural portraits to Mazzonis
Theirs is a very special story: Kossuth became acquainted with Mazzonis's art on the occasion of the monographic exhibition in Aosta
and a great friendship was immediately born
Mazzonis himself will devote himself to organising the monographic exhibition dedicated to Kossuth at the Promotrice di Belle Arti in Turin in 2002
will set up a piano concert in honour of his Via Crucis
a pedestrian path was named after Mother Catherine Daghero
Cumiana (Italy). On 3 September 2022, in Cumiana, in the Province of Turin, within the initiatives of the “September Cumianese”, a pedestrian path was named after Mother Caterina Daghero
Daughter of Mary Help of Christians and Superior General for 43 years
Roberto Costelli; some members of the Municipal Council
as well as the FMA of Mary Immaculate Community of Cumiana
Mary Help of Christians Province (IPI); and the Directors of the Peter Ricaldone Institute of the Salesians of Don Bosco of Cumiana
Bivio locality; and of the Vocational Training Center of CIOFS-FP Piedmont
who briefly recounted some details of Catherine Daghero’s vocation
“Mother Daghero continued the dream of Don Bosco and Mother Mazzarello on an urgency of all times: to be close to young people
in continuous renewal to understand what they need
We thank the Municipal Administration for having remembered and highlighted this town of the one who was the Mother General for 43 years and did not stop in Cumiana
but opened the borders to the whole world.”
On the 150th Anniversary of the Foundation of the FMA Institute
the recognitions to the Daughters of Mary Help of Christians
significant for their contribution to history
nourish in the FMA the gratitude and the desire to imitate their virtues and contribute to making the Charism known to young people and to all people who come into contact with them

Italy – March 2025 – On Sunday
the monthly retreat for ADMA Piemonte-Valle d’Aosta and the Salesian Cooperators took place at the Salesian House in Cumiana (Turin)
The gathering brought together 130 participants
including families and Salesian Cooperators
and concluded with a Holy Mass celebrated by Fr
the Vice Provincial of the Salesians in Piemonte and Valle d’Aosta
After previous reflections on prayers such as the Morning and Evening Adoration
Roberto Carelli delved into the Act of Faith
emphasizing its foundational role in the Christian life
beginning with the profession of belief: “My God
I believe all that You have revealed.”
It continues by affirming the core truths of the Creed: “I believe in You
the one true God in three equal and distinct persons: Father
The prayer concludes with a plea for deeper faith: “Lord
Carelli reminded participants that this final supplication carries a hopeful message: those who pray are already embracing faith and seeking its growth
He encouraged everyone to preserve and nurture their faith
describing it as the seed of the Christian life
we must not lose our faith but safeguard it
Italy – February 2024 – On Sunday
led the day of recollection for the Primary Association of Mary Help of Christians (ADMA) for the first time since his appointment as the new animator of the association
at Rebaudengo in Cumiana there was a large "family of families" walking under the mantle of Mary
included in the formation course for the year
leading to the International Congress of Mary Help of Christians in Fatima (29 August – 1 September 2024)
was: "The Mystery of the Name: you know what you live"
It was an opportunity to reflect on the fact that God
calls each one by name and gives a mission that must be lived in faith and perseverance
with the certainty that "in good time" everything will be understood
Fr Cruz dedicated ample space to recounting the personal journey that led him to ADMA
of entering the seminary chosen "almost by chance"
accepted after 10 years of service in initial formation
in prisons and with street youth in Mexico City
and then of the years of mission in Pakistan
