The “Square Kilometer of Charity” on the Path to UNESCO World Heritage Status: The Journey of Murialdo’s Legacy

In the heart of Turin, in an area spanning just a few hundred meters in the Valdocco neighborhood, beats an ancient and extraordinary heart. It was here, during the 19th century, that a remarkably high concentration of charitable works managed by Turin’s “Social Saints” took root—including our beloved founder St. Leonard Murialdo, St. John Bosco, St. Joseph Benedict Cottolengo, St. Joseph Cafasso, St. Joseph Allamano, and the Marquises Giulia and Tancredi di Barolo. A blessed area that history has christened the “Square Kilometer of Charity”, where concrete responses in the form of hospitality, education, and social redemption have forever transformed the lives of the poorest and the marginalized. On October 8, 2026, a step of fundamental importance was taken: the   Memorandum of Understanding was formally signed, officially launching the process to nominate the “Square Kilometer of Charity” for inclusion on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Promoted by the Coordination Committee of the Social and Health Integration Area (which brings together the region’s historic charitable institutions), the agreement launches a rigorous phase of research, cataloging, and promotion of the priceless historical, archival, spiritual, and educational heritage  preserved in these streets. Let us accompany this important institutional and cultural journey with our prayers and enthusiasm.  The contribution of St. Leonard Murialdo, together with that of the other great witnesses to the faith in Turin—the “social saints”— represents a living source of charity that continues to form and educate younger generations throughout the world.
