Perosa Argentina, Italy - 1924 - Last January 17, we commemorated the Dies Natalis of Fr. Ignatius Stuchlý, the first Czech Salesian. In this old photograph, which dates back to 1924, Fr. Stuchlý is immortalized in the Piedmont town of Perosa Argentina. In this house, for some years, young Czechoslovaks had been gathering, preparing to transplant the Salesian work in their homeland. Ignatius was called to direct it before returning to his homeland, Fryšták, in 1927.
