Abstract

With this review of the publications on Fr. Lorenzo Milani, the John XXIII Foundation for Religious Studies inaugurates a literature overview that will be updated regularly with the aim to give an account of the many books and articles published every year on the Florentine priest. This is necessary not only because of the many works in progress on Fr. Milani, but also for the task that was entrusted in 1973-1974 to the John XXIII Institute for Religious Studies by Milani's mother, Alice Weiss, when she decided to donate the Milani archival fund to the research institute in Bologna so that it would look after the legacy of this key figure in the history of 20th century Italian Catholicism and study his life and work.
