Turin, Italy - April 2023 - On April 16, about 500 young people participated in the "SYM Day" held in Turin-Valdocco. The day's special guest was actor and playwright Giovanni Scifoni, who met with the young people in the theater, offering them the story of a piece of his life as a son, husband and father. He delved precisely into the father-son dynamics, portrayed to the SYM youngsters in a short skit, emphasizing how wonderful it is to know you are Sons and also to be able to become a Father to someone you do not know, but whom God Himself gives you. "Be curious young people, do not be afraid of boredom, because only in this way can your faith grow," was the message shared. And in view of this summer's World Youth Day - an experience that Giovanni Scifoni himself lived years ago - the actor said, "You do not go forward alone, and that is precisely why you should not be ashamed of your faith, which will make some people turn away, but which will make you gain much more. We are much bigger than our dreams; we must not stand still, but throw ourselves into the challenges of each day, knowing that God has a plan for each of us." After lunch and a time of playing together, the youth experienced the Eucharistic Celebration together, which featured another important sign of the day: the Missionary Mandate. This summer's future departures felt all the affection and support of their peers during the handing over of the missionary cross, a symbol of the Salesian style that they will give to those who will find themselves on their path. The day then ended with Giovanni Scifoni's show "Even the Saints Have Pimples," in Valdocco's Teatro Grande, where he portrayed the lives of three saints: St. Augustine, St. John of God, and St. Frances of Rome.
