Where John slept and did his studies

(Casa Vergnano) Caffè Pianta

25

In this house, during the scholastic year 1835, John Bosco became a humble waiter in the shop at G.

Pianta’s café, yielding to the difficult necessities of life.

Here, too, his companion G. Blanchard, an admirer of his

virtues, came to his charitable aid which the

Priest and Founder of the Salesian Society repaid with

profound gratitude.Giacomo Careddu and his wife, Salesian Cooperators and admirers of the Saint,

dedicate this to his memory and as incentive to the youth

of Chieri in the year of his canonization and on the

centenary of the fact
