St. Pier Giorgio Frassati 😇

Italian activist Peter George Frassati (1901 – 1925) is “The Man of the 8 Beatitudes” and patron saint of high-altitude mountaineers.

His personal motto “verso l’alto” (“towards the heights”) epitomized both his passion for mountain summits and his striving toward spiritual perfection. 🌄

Fittingly, he was a member of the Third Order of St. Dominic (Preachers).  (Latin: Tertius Ordo Praedicatorum; abbreviated TOP) 🏔️
