Welcome to Valdocco, cradle of the Salesian charism.
Here, the Salesian congregation was born.
Here, Don Bosco and his mother, Margaret,
welcomed hundreds of homeless children and orphans.
Here, we Salesians of Don Bosco were born.
I am confident that this house will help you discover the great gift
that Don Bosco is for young people and the Salesian Family all over the world.

Fr. Ángel Fernández Artime.
Rector Major of the Salesians, 10th Successor of Don Bosco.

“At Casa Don Bosco Museum you can breath the tangible presence of the origins of salesian holiness. The spaces and patrimony are rich in meaning. Everything here tells a story from the past which remains fully alive today. It is a privileged responsibility to help others discover or rediscover the figure and history of Don Bosco and to preserve his house as an international meeting place.”

“Casa Don Bosco Museum celebrates the roots and the wings of an inspired dream. That dream becomes reality everyday among the young people in 134 countries. Having shared that reality in diverse linguistic, geographic and cultural settings, it is my pleasure to help make Casa Don Bosco a home whose doors are wide open to the international community and the world-wide Salesian Family.”
