St. Gianna Beretta Molla was an Italian pediatrician born in Magenta in the Kingdom of Italy on October 4, 1922. She was the tenth of thirteen children in her family.
At three-years-old, Gianna and her family moved to Bergamo, and she grew up in the Lombardy region of Italy.
As a young girl, Gianna openly accepted her faith and the Catholic-Christian education provided to her from her loving parents. She grew up viewing life as God's beautiful gift and found the greatest necessity and effectiveness in prayer.
In 1942, Gianna began her study of medicine in Milan. She was a diligent and hardworking student, both at the university and in her faith.
As a member of the St. Vincent de Paul Society, Gianna applied her faith in an apostolic service for the elderly and needy.
She received degrees in both medicine and surgery from the University of Pavia in 1949, and in 1950 she opened a medical office in Mesero, near her hometown of Magenta.
In 1952, Gianna specialized in pediatrics at the University of Milan and from there on, she was especially drawn toward mothers, babies, the elderly and the poor.
Gianna considered the field of medicine to be her mission, and treated it as such. She increased her generous service to Catholic Action, a movement of lay Catholics dedicated to living and spreading the Social Teaching of the Catholic Church in the broader culture. The Catholic Action movement is still at work today, throughout the world.

Brushed Aluminum Icon
Our stunning brushed aluminum icons provide depth and texture to every work of art. Made with a silver brushed aluminum Dibond panel, also known as AluDibond Butler Finish Silver, these icons are visually breathtaking and built to last a lifetime. They're durable and incredibly lightweight, making them ideal for even the largest of formats and with highly saturated colors.
Features:
- The icon is matte and glare-free, so no matter where you hang it, the light won't interfere with its beauty.
- The colors on this print are highly saturated, even in large monochrome areas, ensuring the artwork pops off the surface.
- The brushed silver AluDibond creates a unique metallic finish, adding a special touch.
- The grain direction is horizontal, giving it an even more dynamic look.
- Our aluminum icon comes in a thickness of approximately 3mm /0.12", providing a sturdy and rigid base.
- Our direct printing technique ensures that your icon is printed straight onto the surface of the aluminum Dibond panel, guaranteeing the highest quality reproduction.
- White is not printed onto brushed aluminum icons. Any white in icon shines through as a unique metallic silver.
- We've also included a hanging kit, which may vary depending on the country of fulfillment.
- Sizes may vary slightly by region. For the US and Canada, the measurement is in inches, while for the rest of the world, it is in centimeters.
