Discover the inspiring story of Alcide De Gasperi, Italy's first prime minister after World War II, who is now on the path to beatification. In this special Vaticano episode, we explore the remarkable legacy of De Gasperi, a statesman whose leadership transformed post-war Italy from devastation to economic prosperity during the 1950s and 1960s.

Deeply influenced by Catholic values, De Gasperi guided Italy through challenging post-war times, laying foundations for the nation's recovery and prosperity. Now, his life and legacy are under consideration for beatification by the Catholic Church. The Congregation for the Causes of Saints in Rome is currently evaluating his cause. If approved, De Gasperi may soon be recognized as "Venerable," a crucial step towards sainthood.

Featuring expert insights by journalist Andrea Manna and contributions from the Vaticano production team, this video explores De Gasperi’s spiritual and political impact on Italy and the wider Catholic community.
