Why Is Giorgio Ceragioli Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Giorgio Ceragioli was an Italian engineer, professor and a leader in the pro-Third World movement in Italy. Biography Giorgio Ceragioli was born in Torino the 24 June 1930. His grandfather was a well known Italian artist also named Giorgio and his father Mario worked as engineer for Torino's municipality. He studied civil engineering at the local university where, after a period of independent professional work as engineer, he became professor of Technology of Architecture. In his youth he volunteered for the local branch of the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul. Later he became a leader of the Azione Cattolica where he supported his pro-Third-world vision establishing the Centro Cattolico Torinese contro la fame nel mondo and organising the first Quaresima di Fraternità. This meant that all money collected by the Catholic Church during the Lent, instead of being used locally, was devoted to projects in the developing countries. His activity led him to travel a lot; he visited India several times getting in touch with the Sarvodaya movement established by Vinoba Bhave. Back in Italy he launched with Giovanni Ermiglia Assefa , a still widespread NGO which economically supports Sarvodaya activities in India and also aims to promote Gandhi's principles across Italy.
