Saint Pier Giorgio Frassati - Maria di Lorenzo

By Maria Di Lorenzo

Athletic, handsome, and always good for a laugh, Pier Giorgio Frassati was the charismatic leader of a band of rowdy friends. He smoked, pulled pranks, relished extreme sports, fiercely debated politics into the night, and secretly gave away his wealth to help the poor: a mother unexpectedly widowed, a homeless invalid, a boy without warm clothes. Then plunged eagerly into intense experiences of Eucharistic prayer.

An inspiring biography that captures Frassati's spirit, Saint Pier Giorgio Frassati explores the adventuresome personality and forthright love of a man who succeeded in wresting holiness from everyday life.

August: 2025: The publisher anticipates this book being reprinted with Saint on it in early October.
