Sinossi

Pietro Tiboni was born in Tiarno di Sopra, Val di Ledro (Italy, Trento province), on 6th April, 1925. In his life he was granted the gift of meeting two great protagonists of the mission of the Church in the world: St. Daniele Comboni and the Servant of God, Luigi Giussani who called him "one of the holiest men we have". The passion for man, aroused in Father Pietro by these two great friends of his vocation, was always sustained by his filial consecration to Our Lady, for the salvation of the whole world. "I embarked on the adventure of narrating the life of Father Pietro Tiboni out of gratitude for the gift of his friendship. I wish to communicate his amazing testimony-I am aware of what I am saying-also so that people may recognise his holiness. Whether this is worthy of the altar will be indicated by the 'finger' of God. I have had the grace of knowing saints and martyrs, such as Father Giuseppe Ambrosoli. I have learnt that holiness is not perfection, but the transparency of God. Therefore, it is fitting that the person who has written the life of Tibo is a totally imperfect author."
