About the Project

What if one of the most significant political figures of the twentieth century is someone you've never heard of? Giorgio La Pira, the pious Florentine mayor, finds himself emmeshed in some of the world's most consequential struggles during the Cold War and Vietnam War, and emerges as a bold advocate for the poor, a champion of justice, and a bridge-builder between ideologies and nations.
