«Un oratorio senza musica è un corpo senz’anima». Gli orizzonti musicali di Don Bosco tra armonia, condivisione, aggregazione e formazione

In the educational system of Don Bosco, music holds a privileged position. The oratory, a young and “live” context of education, finds in music the essence of sharing and the possibility of growing together. In the words of the saint, music becomes the spirit of the oratory itself, and defines itself as the art which is able to transmit at the same time socialization, study, and asceticism. From the sacredness of the practice of sound, from the professionalism of chamber music, the act of love that is outlined using the art of music is revealed as central and irreplaceable in the vision and existential accomplishment of this great intellectual and man of faith.
