Giuseppe Cafasso (January 15 1811 – June 23 1860) was a significant social reformer in early nineteenth-century Turin born in Castelnuovo d’Asti Piedmont Italy. He was one of the so-called ‘Social Saints’ of nineteenth-century Turin who took it as their job to minister to the dispossessed marginalised and often criminal elements of a city in the throes of industrialisation.
