Oliviero Arzuffi

Oliviero Arzuffi was born in the province of Bergamo in 1946 and still resides there (Tel. 3388787412; 035639377. Mail: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..).

He was divorced 15 years ago with 2 children, and remarried 8 years ago to a divorcee with 2 daughters. He is a professional editor for several publishing houses. He has published numerous books and articles on public health issues related to social marginalization, along with literary works. He was in charge of training for a diocesan chapter of Caritas from 1993 to 1997 until he was "relieved" of his post due to his failed marriage. Because of his experience of marginalization in today’s church, he has just published an open letter to Pope Francis entitled Dear Pope Francis: Letter from a divorced man (Oltre Edizioni, 2013). The book, hand delivered directly to the Pontiff, has received comments in the magazines Jesus, La Rocca and Famiglia Cristiana, but there has been no response from the institutional Church.
