Turin, Italy - This photograph has a mysterious history and it is not known with certainty how it was taken, in what year and who was present. It is known that it was published in 1929 by Fr F. Giraudi with the caption: "Don Bosco in the midst of a group of young people from the oratory". It seems to have been taken in 1861 by the photographer Francesco Serra. It was defined as the most "emotionally moving" photo because Don Bosco is at the center of the photo, surrounded by his boys. The saint's face shows pride for his young people, the satisfaction of being among them and a totally joyful and spontaneous attitude.
