Dearest Friend (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780982356159)

Who was Enzo Piccinini, the surgeon who died tragically in a car accident in May 1999, a friend of Luigi Giussani, and tireless catalyst for numerous religious, social, and cultural proposals in his region of Emilia Romagna and beyond?

Responding to this question, 25 years after his death, is Pier Paolo Bellini, friend and traveling companion of the doctor from Modena, along with Chiara Piccinini, one of Enzo's daughters, giving voice to the man, to his works, and to the words that marked the life of so many. Thanks to the transcriptions of his public speeches and the many testimonies of those who had the good fortune to meet him-all made available by the Enzo Piccinini Foundation-Dearest Friend is an intimate and valuable story allowing everyone, believers or not, to draw close to the

extraordinary and courageous humanity of Enzo Piccinini, still today a human and spiritual role model for many people and whose cause for canonization is currently underway.
