Guatemala - 1925 - The photograph shows the large group of children and young people, accompanied by the Salesians, at the festive oratory in Guatemala City. The image, preserved in the Flicrk profile of the Salesian Bulletin of Central America, dates back to 24 February 1925.

Turin, Italy - 1943 - Evening classes at the Agnelli Institute in Turin began on 10 September 1943, with 15 students. On 4 October of the same year, the day school opened, although there were not many boys, but they were all eager to learn. A canteen was later added. The number of pupils then increased with the end of the war and, in the school year 1947-48, with the new director, Fr Augusto Rossi, the school began to take on its own special character: Vocational Training Course in Industry. As the number of pupils increased, however, the premises needed to be enlarged and so, at the end of October 1947, work began on the construction of new classrooms which became operational in the 1948-49 school year.

Montilla, Spain - 1988 - The photograph shows the completion of the restoration work on the Salesian church in Montilla, in December 1988. In particular, the picture shows the completion of work on the bell tower of the church, when the statue of Mary Help of Christians was hoisted, which would later be placed on the highest part of the bell tower. This work of raising the statue was carried out by Agustín Trapero.
