About the book: From the heart of his sister, Luciana, we receive this gripping first-hand testimony of Pier Giorgio's last week on earth.
In his final days, his Christian character was revealed in an extraordinary way - his devotion to friends and family, his longing to marry the girl he loved, his concern for the poor, and above all his acceptance of God's will.
In the end, his family was astonished by the huge multitude that formed his funeral procession, finally realizing that Pier Giorgio was destined to belong to the whole world.
