Pier Giorgio Frassati was born in Turin, Italy, in 1901. From his early years, he demonstrated a special love for God through prayer and service of the poor. Although he was the son of a rich and politically influential family, Pier Giorgio mingled with all classes of people, spent his money on the needy, and regularly visited the sick. During one of these visits he contracted polio and died within a few days, on July 4, 1925, at the age of twenty-four. He was beatified by Pope John Paul II on 20 May 1990, and given the title, "Man of the Eight Beatitudes."
