After leaving school, he worked as an elevator operator at the Grand Hotel in Bologna.  + In 1931, he began seminary studies was ordained a priest for the archdiocese of Bologna in 1942, during the ravages of World War II.   + Father Giovanni’s first assignment was as assistant priest in Sperticano. His pastoral ministry was shaped by the realities of the war and he soon gained a reputation as being a man of action. He offered aid to those who had been displaced, helped other escape persecution by the Nazis, and offered shelter in his rectory to peoples whose homes had been destroyed by bombings. He was often seen traveling on his bicycle to nearby towns to assist those most in need. + Giovanni bravely exercised his priestly ministry despite the Nazi occupation and harassment by Fascist authorities. He offered Christian burial to their victims and even offered himself in place of those whom had been imprisoned. On October 12, 1944, he protected a young woman (other sources say two young women) from sexual assault by SS soldiers.  + He was murdered by Nazi soldiers the following day (October 13) in Marzabatto, although the details of his death are unknown. His body was recovered in the spring of 1945 after the Nazi withdrawal from Italy. He was given Christian burial on October 13, 1945, in his own parish in Sperticano. In 1950, he was posthumously awarded Italy’s Gold Medal of Military Valour in honor of his efforts to protect his people. + Blessed Giovanni Fornasini was beatified in 2021.  “A parish priest zealous in charity, he did not abandon his flock during the tragic period of the Second World War, but rather he defended it to the point of bloodshed. May his heroic witness help us to face life’s trials with fortitude.”—Pope Francis Almighty and merciful God, who brought your Martyr blessed Giovanni to overcome the torments of his passion, grant that we, who celebrate the day of his triumph, may remain invincible under your protection against the snares of the enemy.

provides a new attractive pink fruit color not yet available in cherry tomatoes suitable for hanging basket production The new fruit was developed by Becky Sideman a researcher with the NH Agricultural Experiment Station and extension professor of sustainable horticulture production and her collaborators Elisabeth Hodgdon at the University of Vermont and Jennifer Noseworthy of Gordon College Both are former UNH graduate students and worked on the development of Rambling Rose while at UNH Rambling Rose originated from self-pollinating a single hybrid Tumbler cherry tomato plant at UNH in 2009 Tumbler was selected as the parent material due to its desirable uniform growth and fruiting habit Plant selections were made in subsequent generations using pedigree selection choosing the best plants from the best families grown in both greenhouse and field settings until uniformity in plant and fruit phenotype was achieved in the seventh generation of plants “Our goal was to select plants with attractive and symmetrical branching Because hanging basket tomatoes are grown not only for their yield Rambling Rose was developed with aesthetics of vegetative growth in mind as well,” Sideman said and growth habit of Rambling Rose were comparable to or better than the commercially available cultivars evaluated in 2012 and 2013 in trials at UNH Those interested in seed trials or commercial seed production should contact Maria Emanuel The research findings are reported in the June 2015 issue of HortScience in the article “‘Rambling Rose’: A Pink-fruited Cherry Tomato for Hanging Basket Production.” This material is based upon work that is supported by the National Institute of Food and Agriculture the NH Agricultural Experiment Station at the UNH College of Life
