John realised, however, that he was not helpful, but just a burden on the place, despite the fact that some of Mamma Margaret's relatives lived there. And so he made up his mind to return home.

John Bosco was only thirteen when he had to move to this farmhouse, about 10 kilometres from his home. There he lived, worked and devoted himself to study from February 1828 to November 1829.
