The museums dedicated
to the Social Saints
—
Outstanding personalities have left
a deep mark in the society of Turin
during the 19th century
Tancredi and Giulia Marquises of Barolo
In Turin, they founded many institutions, such as
a nursery for poor children and the Refuge for ex-
prisoners and youth.
In the institution of Saint Mary Magdalene, the museum
traces the life and work of Giulia.
Saint Joseph Benedict Cottolengo
In 1827, he opened a small hospital for the poor sick. In
1832, he opened the Little House of Divine Providence.
Precious relics are shown in a Chapel dedicated to Our
Lady of Oropa.
Saint John Bosco
In 1841, he opened the first Oratory. In 1847, in the
Valdocco area he started his work concerning youth
education. Here there is the museum for the diffusion of
the thought and works of the Saint.
Saint Leonard Murialdo
In 1866, he accepted the administration of the
Artigianelli College. This is the site of the museum
dedicated to the life and works of this priest who spent
his life teaching poor and abandoned children.
Blessed Francesco Faà di Bruno
In Turin he devoted himself to helping the poor. The
museum, located in his home, expounds his interests as
well as his multifaceted personality.
Blessed Joseph Allamano
He founded the Institute of the Consolata Missionaries in
1901 and that of the Consolata Missionary Sisters in 1910.
The Ethnographic Museum of Natural Sciences is located
in the Institute of the Consolata Missionaries.
