  • Height 135 cm.

Domenico Savio (San Giovanni di Riva near Chieri, 2 April 1842 – Mondonio di Castelnuovo d'Asti, 9 March 1857) was a student of Saint John Bosco, who died fourteen years ago. It was proclaimed saint in 1954 by Pope Pius XII.

According to the ten sons of the blacksmith Carlo and Brigida Gaiato, a tailor, was born in an agricultural fraction of Riva near Chieri (San Giovanni di Riva) in 1842, but only a year later he moved to Morialdo, a hamlet of Castelnuovo d'Asti. In 1853 his family, very large, with ten children mostly dead in early age, moved to Mondonio, always in the municipality of Castelnuovo d'Asti: Domenico, for the intervention of his professor Don Cagliero, pastor of Mondonio, met Don Bosco in Morialdo on October 2, 1854. After a brief dialogue, he showed his intention to become a priest if he had the opportunity to study, Don Bosco decided to make his student in the oratory of Valdocco, in Turin.

He distinguished himself for assiduousness to the sacraments of Penance and the Eucharist and for devotion to the Immaculate Conception (whose dogma was proclaimed by Pope Pius IX in 1854). In the summer of 1856 a cholera epidemic broke out, and Don Bosco gathered forty-four young people to help the sick. Domenico distinguished himself among the volunteers but, sick in turn, died, not yet fifteen years old, on 9 March 1857 in the arms of his parents.  SOURCE WIKIPEDIA
