About
In 1912 he founded the Giovine Orchestra Genovese. Probably his more defining legacy is the Opera nazionale per il Mezzogiorno d'Italia (O.N.P.M.I. / loosely, "National Operation for Southern Italy") which he set up with Giovanni Minozzi to create and operate a chain of orphanages and associated educational facilities, addressing an urgent necessity created by the slaughter of the First World War.

Early life and education
Early years
When he was 9 Giovanni's mother sent him to a boarding school in Cremona, under Jesuit influence: he remained at school in Cremona until he was 14. He was then transferred to the Carlo Alberto Academy ("Real Collegio Carlo Alberto") at Moncalieri (near Turin) where the principal influence came from Barnabites. It was here that his vocation matured, which led him to break off his schooling. The boy was still only 15 when he entered the Barnabite order at Santa Maria al Carrobiolo (Monza) as a novice. He received his monk's habit on 8 October 1882 and was permitted to vote as a member of the Barnabite order for the first time on 22 October 1883.
