Sono trascorsi circa tredici anni da quando il Cardinale Carlo Maria Martini, Arcivescovo di Milano, venne ad Acerenza in occasione delle celebrazioni of the ninth centenary of the Cathedral, 20 November 1994.
The prelate had words of admiration for the beauty of this cathedral I behold with my own eyes. You have made the nine centuries of history and its beautiful cathedral and the walls are dear to you because your community, starting nourishment from the Eucharist, living a life of justice, love, truth and mercy in the commitment of family, work, social, civil and cultural. "
The prelate who had listened to the greeting indirizzatogli by religious and civil authorities, tried in the eyes of simple people who approached him to greet him, the warmth of the reception and was able to seize even an unspoken question help, an ancient and profound dignity that tends to hide the social problems behind a smile that expresses the joy of the meeting.
"I live with you - once said the cardinal - a moment of profound spirituality in the name of the Archdiocese of Milan in the desire that they feel the company. To celebrate the centenary of the Cathedral means to celebrate the radiance of the civilization of love, it means say give reasons for hope. "
With the visit of Cardinal Martini, the Archdiocese of Acerenza and Milan actually came, it was spread as an ideal bridge to link these Acerenza a concrete reason for hope: the Don Gnocchi Foundation.
