DON GUANELLA AND ITS PLACES
To get to know and understand don Luigi Guanella, his spirit, his multifaceted work of charity, we must first of all see him and frame him in the setting of his native valley. We have to project him into the places and into the mountain landscape that were familiar to him and to which he remained attached throughout his life. We must follow him in his wanderings and contemplate him in the Valchiavenna and Lake Como atmosphere, in the geographical territory of the Diocese of Como.
We must walk in his footsteps, in his footsteps.
We will understand many things about him, and perhaps we will be able to absorb a little of his tenacious and generous mountain spirit, which led him to be a friend of God and a friend of men, above all of the poorest.
