The canonisation of Pier Giorgio Frassati was greeted with great enthusiasm on 7 September 2025 in the Lanzo Valleys, a region that Frassati regarded as a second home.
The conference provides an opportunity to explore his life in greater depth and to recall the valuable accounts of his time spent in the valleys.
Speakers will include Franca Giusti, councillor of the Turin Order of Journalists; Don Primo Soldi, Honorary Canon of the Collegiate Church of Santa Maria della Scala e Testona; Cristina Siccardi, essayist and lecturer in History at the Accademia di Alti Studi Schola Palatina; as well as Ezio Sesia and Giannetto Massazza, academics from the Historical Society, who will present previously unpublished accounts of Frassati’s mountaineering excursions to the public.
