The Salesians of Don Bosco, formally known as the Society of St Francis of Sales, are a Religious Congregation of men devoted to apostolic and missionary activity and to the many different works inspired by Christian charity, but especially the service of young people, in particular those who are poorer and disadvantaged.

Open to the cultural values of the lands in which they work, they try to understand them and become part of them so as to incarnate in them the message of the Gospel.

The needs of the young, of ordinary people, the desire to work with the Church and in her name, inspire and shape their concrete pastoral activity so as to bring about a more just world and one of greater fellowship.

The Salesians in Italy are promoting a project called "The other city" with the aim of creating a city-sized guys, going to rebuild the sense of belonging and responsibility to their community and their city, thereby allowing younger growing developing passions and skills and active citizenship.
