Title: Da Pistoia a Palermo. Giuseppe Toniolo e l'avvio della 'Settimana sociale dei cattolici italiani'
(From Pistoia to Palermo. Giuseppe Toniolo and the beginning of the 'Settimana sociale dei cattolici italiani')
Abstract: The article focuses on the double role of Giuseppe Toniolo as economist and promoter of the
Catholic movement, dealing with one of his successful initiatives: ‘La Settimana sociale dei cattolici
italiani’. The essay describes the project that aimed to popularize the Catholic social doctrine and that
during its first years (1907-1908) resulted in three great meetings held in Pistoia, Brescia and Palermo.
These events, that required a lot of work to Toniolo as scholar and leader of Catholic associations,
met a great number of obstacles of political nature and, also of intellectual, doctrinal and regional
origin.
