Luigi Sturzo (Italian pronunciation:[luˈiːdʒiˈsturtso]; 26 November 1871 – 8 August 1959) was an Italian Catholic priest and prominent politician.[1] He was known in his lifetime as a Christian socialist and is considered one of the fathers of the Christian democratic platform.[2] He was also the founder of the Luigi Sturzo Institute in 1951. Sturzo was one of the founders of the Italian People's Party (PPI) in 1919 but was forced into exile in 1924 with the rise of Italian fascism, and later in 1943 Christian Democracy, although he was never a party member. In exile in London and later New York City, he published over 400 articles (published after his death under the title Miscellanea Londinese) critical of fascism.[3][4] Sturzo's cause for canonization opened on 23 March 2002 and he is titled as a Servant of God.[1]
