Alberto
Marvelli, engineer and worker of Charity Alberto
Marvelli (1918 - 1946) is an exemplary figure of catholic
layman, a true hero of charity. In spite of his short lifetime
(spiritual maturity is not the outcome of long life), Alberto
has given, throughout his living, flesh and soul to the figure
of the good samaritan, pointed out by our Lord Jesus Christ,
as perfect pattern to be imitated in order to evidence how
fellow-creatures must be loved. Since
he was a boy, he has lived out his own faith with great and
ardent engagement, feeding it
with continuous and intense prayer, and showing it in
his daily duties of study and work, in the Church and in
social life. He revealed an exceptional charity to the poor
and the suffering and, like a prophet, he anticipated the
Christian layman’s role and vocation, such as it will be
proposed, later on, by the Vatican Council II. Pope John Paul
II, speaking about him, stated: "He has shown how, in the
changing of times and situations, Christian laymen are able to
devote themselves unreservedly to the construction of God's
kingdom in family, work, culture and politics, taking the
Gospel in the heart of society". Now a day the Church
offers him as a pattern of sanctity in daily life for the
young Christians of the centuries to come. Alberto's
parents, Mary Mayr and Alfredo Marvelli will be coherent and
exemplary Christians. His mother was a wise woman, charitable
and enlightened. When she was left a widow with her last born
baby only a few months old, even if in economically reduced
circumstances, she brought up her six children in a house that
was always opened to the poor. She accustomed her children to
forbear from wasting what was unnecessary to enable them to
give it away to those who were in need of help. Since his
early age, Alberto, after his mother's example, proved to be
very generous. Even after her young husband's death, Mary's
charitable ardour never came to an end. In spite of his young
age, Alberto gave support to his mother and his brothers,
behaving like a second father. He soon appeared to be a wise
boy. He devoted himself to prayer and charity and consecrated
himself to Immaculate Mary. Later on, he will be a very active
member of the Catholic Action. We can say that Alberto's human,
spiritual and apostolic formation was decisively of Salesian
extraction. Having his mind always turned to God, Alberto,
after going through "hard and terrible trials",
became, throughout his life, a living witness of transcendency.
His
diary that he began to write since he was 15 years old, is
“the story of a soul, the story of his living in prayer”.
When he was a high-school pupil, he took up studying with a
very great sense of earnestness and responsibility. During
this time he will be also a very active member of the
Association of St. Vincent of Paul. This very great apostle of
charity will spur
him on to a more and more
great desire of charity. Alberto will be so literally
kindled up by St.Vincent's teaching as to produce words like
these: “...we must love our fellow creatures vith the sweat
of our forehead and the work of our arms...”, and again
“...it is only because of your love that the poor will
forgive you for the bread you give them...” and again “...before
teaching the poor how to save their soul we must enable them
to live in such a way
as to allow them to be aware of having
one....”. However, Alberto's service to the poor was
taken far beyond the limits within which
the charitable action
of the St. Vincent Association
was practised. He was still a young man when he
fervently asked Jesus to live in full pureness. On account of
that he was regarded to be like a new St. Louis. His life
program was “to be with Jesus Christ, the Pope and the
Church”. The
Catholic Action was for him like a new
home where he continued to be schooled to his great
generosity, as well as to action
and sanctity. In his "Diary" he writes down:
"What a great deal of work is needed in this world which
is so far from Christ; it is
necessary for us to offer sacrifices; we must act to
the utmost of our stength to have Christ known and loved. It
is the call of duty we are urged by, and we are obliged
to realize it". He always lived in unceasing inner
union with God; nevertheless, he was able to match his
utter love to God with his utter love to his fellow-creatures.
He undertook his university
studies to realize the aim of "fulfilling my duty
to give more and more glory to our Lord, by my behavior
among my university
mates". The keen
desire of his heart was sanctity and, on account of that, he
read and mused much on the lives of Saints. He particularly
wanted to imitate Pier Giorgio Frassati. His love for Jesus
living in the Eucharist was fervent; his communions enraptured
his soul as if in ecstasy and kept him joined to Jesus for a
long time. His only loves were Jesus and Mary, and often
addressed them with great filial transport: "Jesus, Mary,
help me and assist
me for ever". The
year 1939 marks the tragical beginning of World War II.
Alberto, being overcome by grief, said: "it is a
catastrophic moment of our social life….". Eight months
later, while the conflict was
causing death and ruin throughout Europe, he complained:
"eight months of war have elapsed... many lives are being
sacrificed, many young men are sheding their blood, many pains
are being renewed!…”. In a sort of prophetic intuition, he
added: "national and international right must be founded
on Christian basis. The Gospel and the Pontifical Encyclicals
must be the life rule not only for single men, but for peoples,
for nations, for governements, for the world. The only and
deep cause of war is our scarse love to God and to men. The
spirit of charity is lacking in the world and, because of that,
we hate each other like enemies, instead of loving each other
like brothers, as we all have been redeemed by Christ!". Now,
Alberto, with all his heart, prayed Jesus: "Jesus,
protect Italy, preserve it from utter ruin, and grant peace
with justice for all peoples, soon; so that war may disappear
in the world for ever”. These words are a sign of great
Christian wisdom and of courageous independence of judgment. When
Alberto was called to arms he wanted his weapon to be
friendship in order: " to be one with all others".
While the horrifying happenings of the war were going on,
Alberto, forgetful of his "self", was quite uneasy
about his cherished fellow-creatures, especially those he felt
to be his dearest brothers, because they were poor and needy.
Then, he started a restless activity that kept him busy day
and night; spurring on the young men of the G.I.A.C to share
actively the sufferings ot the people and to be effectively
helpful of their fellow-citizens, in those terrifying moments. Under
the bombs: working for the homeless In
1943 English and American bombardments were started and
very distressful events occurred. It was a period of tearing
agony: misery, starvation, sequestrations, plunders, vexations,
bereavements, vengeances. The town of Rimini will be almost
wholly razed to the
ground and
all the inhabitants were forced
to flee. Alberto's heart began to beat for all of them.
There was no more rest for him, because he kept on with long
and eager works of moral and material assistance for the
dispersed... Riding his bicycle indefatigable, Alberto got to
the places where men and women were needing to be helped.
After any bombardment he was the first to rush to the places
where he might have been helpful. He rushed on the smoking
wrekages of the town and worked hard to aid the wounded, to
encourage the survivors, to assist the dying with Christian
and brotherly love and self-sacrifice, to take those who had
been blocked up or to take out of the wrekages those who were
living buried, to place the household implements in safe. Soon
after a bombardment he saw the tabernacle containing the
Blessed Sacrament on the ground, and so, creeping flat on the
ruining ground, he brought it. The risk was to a safe place
pending and very serious, indeed; nevertheless his love for
the Eucharist was so great that no obstacle might ever have
prevented him from doing it! His
sister Gede, who was thirteen by that time, said: "During
the German occupation he used to go restlessly to and fro
between Vergiano and Rimini to offer his services to those who
had been wholly devoid of their own things. During the day he
was so much taken with his charitable works that he was
obliged to be back home late at night. But when at home, there
were always men and women waiting for him to be aided; yet, I
remember, I have never seen him to be out of patience, nor to
complain or to puff. Mrs
E.M. Cappelli said: "...He gave away
all he had and could collect to the poor... and went
about looking for peasants and shopkeepers who had succeeded
in laying their goods in safe and bought any
kind of
supplies that he gave to those
who were in urgent need of help. Afterwards, with his
bicycle loaded with provisions, he got to the places where
there was to render aid: in caverns , in shelters, in ceilings
, or in poor wretched country-houses scattered in the country
side. His
being so busy, however, never caused him to be diverted from
caring for his spiritual life and he never went to have a rest
without reciting the Rosary, lying down on his knees near the
bed; likewise, he never left out his daily Holy Communion.
"He was fully aware that Eucharist is "sacrament of
piety, sign of unity, bond of charity “ (S.Thomas ).
Whenever he aided, he was ready to give his money even, and,
in order to relieve his brothers' pain, he never missed to
hearten them with words like these "...our Lord may help
us; let's have our trust only in Him and in the intercession
of His Holy Mother...". A
woman reported: "...we were tired, overwhelmed, out of
spirits , and very sad. We felt to have been forlorn; no one
of our acquaintances minded to help us. All at once, I did not
know how, he happened to find us, Alberto Marvelli appeared on
the threshold; he
was the only person to render aid to us, in the wretched room
we were living in. Another day he came to see us, smiling, and
with many provisions: flour, oil and many other things we were
urgently much in need of. He started talking with us, having
kind and comprehensive words for us all". And again
“...one evening he came late in the place where we had taken
shelter and I told him to spend the night with us; he accepted
it willingly and slept in the one room we had at our disposal.
Before lying on the mattress we had laid down for him, he
knelt down on the floor to pray, remaining wrapped in pious
meditation...”. His
sister reported: "...he often urged our mother to give
away all that was in our house for those he knew to be in very
great need: mattresses, coverlets and pots were freely offered
to the poor: he gave everything away, because of the great
misery of too many refugees he saw about and of his being
quite aware not to be owner of anything... He
also gave away all the equipments of the clergy House, after
asking for the bishop's consent, as he was the manager of the
House. He gave away his shoes, coats and woollen coverlet...
There was no limit for him in giving, because he couldn't help
aiding the suffering and the poor. Once his mother saw him to
be back home wearing a pair of old and bad wooden shoes.
However, though he got rid of his things to aid the others, he
never left his mother and brothers to be wanting of what was
necessary for them... Whenever
he came back from Rimini he cared to have the refugees to be
acquainted about the condition of their houses left in town;
and he always added words of hope and assurance for them.
Those he paid his attentions to, felt it to be their duty to
report" how it was impossible for them not to be moved by
the charm of his words full of inflaming faith "His
generosity was joined to such spontaneous token of tenderness
as to induce those reiceiving his aid to accept it with joy.
Sister Diamante Cortesi recollected how Marvelli, during the
time they were dispersed, often used to go to pay them a visit
by his bicycle "loaded with victuals and clothes".
Sister Elena Giovagnoli reported: "...Once I saw him
coming, poorly dressed and wearing poor wooden shoes, with a
small half-ruined cart drawn by a little foal... ".
He
risked life for the poor... Elsa
Maggiori reported: "...she had hastened to get to Rimini
but she found her house to have become a heap of ruins...
while she was weeping, her soul in full dispair, all of a
sudden Alberto stepped forward, he seized her hand in his own
and led her to some folks he was in friendly connection with.
Along the way his devoutly reciting the Rosary soothed our
pains as we were dejected owing to the tragical events
occurring in those days". Giorgio
Torri, one of Alberto’s friends remembers that Alberto,
during those days coming on one after another, always grey,
hard and dull, never seemed worried about it and he never came
to a standstill in incarnating S. Paul’s great teaching; but
he felt to be really happy whenever he had the chance to lead
the souls to Jesus. Mother
Teresa of Calcutta says: “you enter here (the Church) to
worship God, and you go out from here to love
fellow-creatures” Alberto knew quite well that faith is
“service” to be freely offered to fellow-creatures. What
about giving not only the surplus, but even what is necessary,
as Alberto often did! Alberto
was utterly bereft of the so called
“human respect”; a prejudice that unfortunatelly
may so easily affect even religious persons' behaviour. When,
during the German occupation, Alberto accepted to enter the
Todt Organization, his only aim was to avoid that many young
men might be transported to Germany and to attempt to save
many lives. In fact the Todt Organization got a special
free-pass for him, and it was of great use for him to carry
out risky undertakings. For some weeks he had two defaulters
who had been recruited by the fascists to lie hidden in his
house, running the risk of being shot. Friendship was not for
him mere human feeling, but theological virtue of Evangelical
Charity. Therefore, neither human sentimentalism, nor
philanthropism stirred up by compassion nor self-satisfied
humaniterianism, which are but existential lies; but Christian
altruism which is service to Jesus living in creatures. We owe
to Jesus the divine truth that our personal relationship to
our fellow-creatures become personal relationship to God. Like
St. Gerardo, who retained the poor to be his masters, Alberto
was specially fond of the poor because “ they are the real
givers”. In
the light of this truth, he felt honoured to serve them, quite
aware as he was, that it is Jesus Himself to be served in
their persons. It was with such spirit of service that he
freely offered a meal to more than one hundred poor men and
women during the day of Easter in 1946. That’s why he always
asked Jesus the grace to be enabled to practice mercy.
Townfolk were struck with wonder when they saw him to be the
first to get to damaged places - His ardent prayer was:
"Jesus give me a bit of Thy infinite love for men and
their miseries, of Thy endless and supernatural ardour of
apostolate". He offered himself even for the most humble
works such as to carry by carts luggage, furniture etc.
belonging to those who had been compelled to leave their
houses, especially the worthless household-implements of the
poor and of the forsaken. Afterwards he did not leave them
forlorn, because he continuously got to help them with his
bicycle loaded with victuals and clothes. There was a sort of
legend about him because he was deemed to be invulnerable,
owing to the many dangers he had always escaped from, safe and
sound. During the wartime the young engineer Marvelli was
uninterruptedly and unreservedly engaged to lavish care and
love on his brothers, facing perils and risking life for them,
overwhelmed as they were with misery and dispair. During
the last two years of war Alberto Marvelli was restlessly
engaged to lavish care on the paupers and to face any danger
to help them; because aiding the poor in dispair was “
necessity”, and risking life for them was “duty” for
him. He conceived his work a "duty". His heart was
so broken by his brothers' pains that he insistently and
sincerely asked Jesus to be afforded with the grace of
suffering for them and to be able to make of pains "a
source of supernatural joy". In
addition to charitable works he was engaged in, to relieve
those reduced to starvation, he felt obliged to offer the
charity of his great technical and professional capacity as an
engineer, acting with the rare courage of steadfast and worry
caution not to be swerved from moral uprightness in
accomplishing the requests of those who had suffered material
damages, during those tragical post-war days. The technical
data he had to collect, the calculations and the plans he had
to get ready, the drawnings he had to enclose to the matters
he had to solicit, were so many that he was compelled to work
even during the night. Moreover,
he never allowed those who had received his works as an expert
to be left aidless, especially those who were more unprovided
and uncapable, in order to had them indemnified for the
damages they had suffered, as soon as possible. Pascal stated
that "Jesus is in agony until the end of the world",
Alberto was so much aware of this truth that he deeply felt
how no matter when, where and how sins are committed, they
continue renewing Jesus pangs in His passion and death.
Jesus's "Our Father" cannot be taken as covering of
compromises-It denounces the "truth" of our
relationships with the others. We
cannot appear before the Father with "words", but
with "facts". It openly condemns neuter Christianism
and pitilessly denounces non-performances. It is the prayer
for those who are troubled with earthly concerns and should
induce us to get free of the mean apprehensions of daily life.
It is possible to recite it only if we get rid of our
selfishness and of our self conceited complaisance. The above
mentioned truth will be pointed out throughout. Alberto's
lifetime, along the path of sanctity he will be achieving day
after day. Without bias and flaws, he actualized,
ininterruptedly, what was called by a great Saint the policy
of "Our Father". The reign we ask for in "Our
Father" to be realized "hic et nunc", on the
earth, is the reign of true love, the reign of the person
self-sacrificing by free choice; because we are called into
being by God's love, in order to live according the logic of
love, which must be unreservedly devoted to our brothers, in
Jesus, for Jesus and with Jesus - It is utterly false of heart
to "make" charity and to codify our "dues"
to the others, sanctioning thus our deficiencies, egoisms and
duplicities. When
we behave so guiltly, we belie ourselves
as much as to be led astray, utterly out of the way of
the brothers, the one to be suited to God's children,
If we consider
weariness which is usually caused by hard and restless work of
long continuance, as in Alberto's activity, it
is no use surmising to find out, by human inferences
only, how this exceptional Christian believer may have endured
it day by day, without ever being worn out, both on
psychological and physiological ground. During
the year 1939 Alberto knew a young girl named Marilena for
whom he felt a tender sentiment and, for some time, he also
thought to marry her; but after long reflexions and prayers he
only considered her like a sister. There establishment of the
territory of the town of Rimini was long and very hard,
because of the huge disasters caused by a very cruel war and
by thousands of victims. All over Italy, only the town of
Cassino had been destroyed like that. It was obviously
indispensable to have a committee to be established to start
rebuilding the town. The presidence, both of this committee
and of the town lodging committee, were entrusted to the young
engineer Marvelli. In
a pocket-book he
wrote: "it is better to serve than to be served: Jesus
serves". Alberto accomplished his work with rapidity and
decision, with clearness and transparence. He was given the
responsibility to manage big sums of money to be shared among
those who had received material damages. He fulfilled his task
with great justice and equity. He wanted to comply with
everyone's request. The time he spent in his office sufficed
no longer to settle matters, but he was successful in
realizing, in a single subject matter, both his professional
duty and his longing of charity. His mother reported:
"when he was back home he could not take his meals in
peace owing to an uninterrupted queue both of the poor (who
were allowed to come in by her mother herself) as well as to
the clients who, in order to contact him, were obliged to come
just during the meal time. In spite of that, he never expected
them to come to his office or to his house, because he betook
himself about to look for those who were needy. Elena
Balestra reported: "When
we came back to Rimini from Trieste, we found nothing
more of our own and, for 18 days, we were
compelled to have our night rest lying on the benches
in the railway entrance hall.
I was peaceless and sad, also because my son was sick.
It was Marvelli who, unespectedly, came and met us; he was
able to find a lodging for us and to arrange everything in our
new abode... "After
the war the following days were very hard for the citizens
in Rimini to be able to get
their livelihood as well as to set civil living in order again: the revenge of
the defeated, the political passions, the vengeance for the
endured wrongs, were a threat for a civil and democratic
renewal. In these critical circumstances, it
was Marvelli to assume, unreverdly, the defence of the
rights of the weak, of the oppressed and of the persecuted. In
1945 Alberto took
up teaching again, and began,
by his behavionr, to establish a new kind of contacts with
pupils and fellow-teachers,that is to say to be on brotherly
terms with them- He often mused on death, but this was for him
chance to enhance more and more his spiritual life and to have
his faith to be more effective in charitable works. His daily
life was so busy as to be exhaustive, either for the rhythm of
his professional and charitable works, or his spiritual
duties, because, when Alberto was a member of Catholic Action
again, he was taken up with many binding tasks. He
commented the "Rerum Novarum, by Leo XIII " to
youngmen, and proved to be fully acquainted with the Christian
social doctrines he taught. Alberto's passion was likewise
very intense when he was engaged as a member of the A.C.L.I.
(Catholic Association of Italian Workers), and used some
premises belonging to the A.C.L.I. to have free meals to be
bestowed to workers and to the poor of the town. He used to go
about to collect packages of clothes and cared to deliver them
himself to those who were extremely in need. He got, by the
A.C.L.I., a proper office to be opened for the research of
missing citizens and to hasten to return home of war
prisoners. Meanwhile, as the social doctrines by K. Marx were
being spread among the workers to have them to be
indoctrinated with them, the engineer Marvelli never failed to
betake himself before the gates of the factories to have the
workers to be acquainted with the Christian social doctrines,
and to show out how false and harmful Marx's ideas were as
compared to Christian ones, as well as to speak of Christ to
them. Owing to this indefatigable work, Alberto was deemed to
be the only Christian acting as he did. Alberto's love for his
brothers reached the heroism of Christian forgiveness, too.
Once he was beaten so cruelly as to be left bleeding by
persons who had grown up enraged and wicked because of the
misery they had been living in. When Alberto heard of the
horrors of the nazist extermination camps, of the crematory
ovens and of the slaughter of the Jewish he wept and prayed.
When he says that "we must give the others the gifts we
have been given gratuitously by God's love", he affirms
how pretentious it is to believe to be owners of such gifts
– Vincenzo. Cananzi, a young man whose liveliness was not
always positive, reported: " there was in his innermost
" self " a wisdom that was not the outcome of age,
because it perennially overflow from the inner man and he
lived it out as a very vivid faith, day by day, and a true
Christian awareness that was evidenced in actions".
Alberto was a true born Christian also in his political
engagement that will be for him a work of "charity "
- Pius XI had already said: " the political fields are
the fields of a wider charity, political charity". President
of Catholic graduates When
his bishop proposed him, even if he told him that in a rather
playful tone, to be president of the Catholic Graduates,
Alberto asked for some time to think about it and, afterwards,
he accepted this task he considered to be a mission. The
meetings presided over by the engineer Marvelli were attended
by lawyers,
teachers , physicians , magistrates. He initiated a
popular university, too; engaging all the catholic graduates
in this activity. He did not leave out to apply a remedy to
the moral and spiritual dangers on beach life. War left many
human derelicts behind it: wreched crowds who were very poor,
living disorderly, houseless families, forlorn, lacking of
everything. It was a social and moral plague that urged him to
organize Holy Masses for them, as well as to supply meals for
those who had nothing to eat; teaching them how to pray. In
order to get money necessary for his work, he went about
begging. The poor were always
his dearest brothers, who can teach us " how one
suffers " , and enable us " to realize love ". When
in 1946 he was
allowed to be a member of the " Workingmen’s Club
" his action in this field was a practical realization of
the "symbol of the workers ", he recited every day
Alberto entreated our Lord to grant him the grace in order to
have his prayer " non Mea voluntas sed Tua fiat "not
to be reduced to a vain and dry wording. A woman remembered
"how providential and daring Marvelli's intervention was
whenever unhesitatingly he defended them against evil-minded
men ". Alberto made of all his life a " continuous
act of love " that, starting from his total love to
Jesus, was humbly and utterly devoted to his brothers. His
life was an uncompromised and unceasing " yes " to
the Father' will, with Jesus. He always kept in mind Jesus'
frightful agony in the Getsemani, as well as his shokingly
disfigured face because of the superhuman anguishes of His
passion and his crucifixion. It is easy to understand why S.
Gemma Galgani, the saint girl frenzied of Jesus agonizing and
crucified, might have been so dear to Alberto. That' s why he
must be esteemed as being a true disciple of his beloved God,
Jesus Christ. His mother often saw him come back home without
jacket and shoes... One day he sent the window panes of his
house to a priest who was ill and lying on a bed in a very
cold (it was wintertime ) room without window-panes. He
offered the most humble services to his brothers. Aldo Savelli
reported: "During the very cold wintertime of 1945/46,
Alberto, using his bicycle, used to go to Vergiano every two
nights to take milk, also for my child; he refused to be
thanked and asked for
" prayers " only. I have always kept in my heart the
affable tone of his voice ". Jesus starts declaring His
beatitudes with "Blessed the poor in spirit because the
reign of heavens is theirs". A. Marvelli was a man poor
in spirit, because he was utterly aware of "having"
nothing of his own; he knew how "life" and all the
"things" of the world are freely created by God' s
will, and there is no pretending of the human creature to
"use" things as if he were owner of them. As a true
Christian, Alberto had a very keen sense of catholicity and
realized the truth according to which "unanimity, fruit
of charity, is the union of will, not at all of
opinions". Alberto
through his living, carried into effect the very meaning of
charity as it is
pointed out by St. Paul in his hymn to charity. When Alberto
died his political opponents wrote: "The communists of
Bellariva bow in
reverence and hail the son, the brother who has made so much
good in this land ". As
regards act while he is taking off even his own jacket and
shoes, in an impetus of great love to give them to a needy
brother, is an impressive action deserving to be admired. Wat
a great teaching of Christian wisdom young Alberto Marvelli
affords to the crowds of diverted and over-excited youngmen
yelling in the hellish pits of stadia and of discothèques, to
the throngs of young men and women in the meetings of rock and
non-rock musical performances or in all the revels of this
world! What a warning Alberto's living is for all the young
and aged corpses (words used by Pope Pius XII), vilifying and
trifling away their lifetime, plunged and blinded as they are
in the mire of material welfare; and restlessly worrying on
this wordly stage to get human gainings, which are nothing
else but passing shapes!.
This damned evil of the soul that may derange and
deceive man’s mind so much as to lead him to live utterly
entangled in the “fallacy” of “having”, and to be
utterly averted from the “truth” of “being”!. We
can say that Alberto Marvelli’s whole life, throughout his
intense and generous attivity, offered as a gift to his fellow
creatures, is very ardent love for Jesus that, he utterly and
indefaticably lets to flow, with a heart sweeter then a
mother’s heart and more in love than a bridegroom’s heart,
like waves of tenderness, to reach his brothers Jesus himself
is living in. In
the thick darkness we are living in, Alberto Marvelli is like
a light for us all and for the human creatures of the time to
come. If
