Giussani, due to his extraordinary insight and courage, was a well-known and appreciated figure not only at the university and in church, but also in school, cultural and political life.

The author of the study, taking into consideration the pedagogical aspect, draws attention to Giussani as an exceptional teacher and educator. The author not only introduces Giussani’s way of understanding pedagogy and education, but also confirms his uniqueness by presenting selected accomplishments described in his biography. As a teacher and educator, Fr. Giussani distinguished himself by a sober and realistic view of people and their education.

The publication contains a short biographical sketch. Furthermore, it describes Fr. Giussani's preferred methods of education, educative events, elements constituting the personality of the educator and the educated person.
