Family memory
Maria Pia and Luciana Castagnetti recall their father’s tenderness, prayer in the family, educational care and generous attention to others. Their words illuminate the domestic dimension of his life.
Voices that preserve memory
Testimonies
Family members, friends and collaborators offer attributed personal memories, kept distinct from official and archival documents.
Work and administration
Marino Marchi remembers a skilled worker and administrator able to identify priorities and involve people of different outlooks. Ferruccio Minghelli recalls his direct presence across the territory and his attention to agriculture, unstable land and small farms.
How the testimonies are presented
Each testimony is attributed and treated as a personal source. Memory can reveal gestures, relationships and character, while dates and public actions are checked against the available documentary record.
