Giorgio La Pira

Giorgio La Pira’s adolescent years, in a Messina still shocked by the 1908 earthquake, and his first literary efforts. Then his career in university and the coming to faith. The arrival in Florence, the charitable works, then the war years, the political commitment, the great international initiatives: a series of exceptional documents – especially period photos, letters, newspaper articles – accompanies the human journey of the Italian statesman whose life was marked by a strong goal: to position himself as an ambassador for the peace and brotherhood of peoples.
