Action Catholic Livorno between 1938 and 1945
THE TORCH OF HOPE AND COURAGE
presented the latest work by Andrea Zargani
There are voices within the , the faces, the stories "of those who are often the big story was put aside." Through the wire of the testimony and thorough research into the documentary is "difficult inner journey of renewal and awareness of all those Catholics who rebelled against the totalitarian making an important contribution to the liberation struggle with the torch of courage and hope '.
these are probably the most valuable aspects of the last well documented work of historiography Andrea Zargani . Moreover, the title already explains a lot: renewed consciousness. Religious identity and cultural commitment of the laity of the Catholic Diocese of Livorno, the racial laws of Liberation (1938-1945).
The deputy director of the Diocesan, after years of careful research, has published the "Papers of Labronica" a book that opens up great flashes of light on a story often neglected or (worse) forgotten and that all projects educational strength of the memory found on the present and the future.
concepts emerged clearly last May 15 meeting to present the volume in front of so many people saw in the hall of Villa Fabbricotti. In addition to the author and moderator of the debate Chiara Domenici, were the Bishop Simone Giusti, the vicar general and Alderman Paul Breeze to the cultures of the Municipality of Livorno Massimo gloves.
The Bishop Simone Giusti scrutinizes the past looking to the present ("the story of Catholic - he says - only a confirmation that more education in our city can find a driver for its development ') and cites Don Robert Angelo to understand the most important aspect of the book Zargani: "When you can know - Angels Don said - through the figures and documents, the contribution of Catholic Action for liberation, then many who are out of wondered, and perhaps better understand that education in the very heart of Christian life that need to buy it, it is logical to also die. "
Zargani And in the book is this: figures and documents. Above all there is hidden inside the route that led most of the Catholics of the '30s and '40s - who played in mass between the file associations of the Church - to "Open their minds to contribute to justice by the heavy path of Christian social renewal."
Monsignor Paul Breeze - and elated after quoting the reference figures for the laity of the time (the Bishop Don Giovanni Piccioni and Angels) - explained in a few words the profound significance of the work of Zargani " Andrea - he says - has not only collected the testimonies, stories, histories, but has raised above all the spirit that inspired those who told him the facts and the spirit of hidden Fedde documents. He told other words the yearning for justice, solidarity, brotherhood, that drove the Catholics at a time when fascism would obscure all people who seek the truth in the assertion utter and complete.
