The Salesian Society, founded by Catholic priest Giovanni Bosco soon after the Unification of Italy in order to educate poor children from the slums of Turin, is to have its special celebrative day at EXPO Milano on the 12th July 2015. This year, in fact, marks the bicentenary of the birth of the saint, who was canonized by Pope Pius XI in 1934.

The EXPO Don Bosco Day will be presented by the 10th successor of Don Bosco, Principal Rector, Don Angel Fernandez Artime along with General Mother of FMA (Our Lady of Help) Sister Yvonne Reungoat, followed by a procession with the Salesian Youth Band of Poiares, Portugal along the main street of the Fair. Dancing, music and performances will carry on throughout the afternoon.

The Casa Don Bosco (Don Bosco House) is the only pavilion in Expo dedicated to a saint. The order specializes in the education and training of under-privileged youngsters and is present in 130 countries in the world.
