The boxed set, which consists of 12 publications, concerns the building of the Church of Santa Maria Ausiliatrice which is told in its historical, artistic and religious aspects with different display modes ranging from the brochure to the leaflet, booklet, text.

This choice of opting for a varied form instead of a single commemorative text has favored the celebration of the centenaries with numerous events placed in the year's main festivals and has met the interest of various readers: the professional historian, the lover of the territory, the parishioner who relives the times of his or her recent past and the tourist on a guided tour in the summer evenings.

Of all the texts, the “Short Guide to the Church of Santa Maria Ausiliatrice” by the most qualified Rimini author in the sector is especially important, the work of historian Piergiorgio Pasini.

The text “People and facts of the Church of Mary Help of Christians”, written on an eight-leaf leaflet to highlight the chronological path, is also of great interest.

Other specific publications are dedicated to the careful reading of some details of the structure, such as the stained glass windows or the tombstone of the Venetian refugees, or to the meticulous examination of the Gothic style and religious symbolism present in the church.

And since a church exists only if it is lived by a community, people also find a place in the boxed set with publications aimed at remembering the many benefactors, the aforementioned Alberto Marvelli, and also the famous Salesian Fr Antonio Gavinelli, founder of the work.

All the graphic design was handled by the Kaleidon studio under the direction of Francesco Ramberti.

The texts by Sonia Bodellini and Adriani-Masini for the “extra large” format and the one on the Via Crucis, still being worked on, are not included in the collection.

"It would be too much to wish ad perpetuam rei memoriam (as a perennial reminder of the thing), but sincere is the intention to leave memories and admiration," say the Rimini Salesians.
