Brother Leonardo Grasso, 78, victim of the arson at the headquarters of Tenda San Camillo, a community for the rehabilitation of drug addicts and care for AIDS patients in Riposto, had made a vow at 50 years of dedicating his life to the who suffered. The turning point came after the death of both parents, who died six days apart. Thus, as a commercial agent with an established business and worldly interests, he radically changed his life by choosing to become a Camillian. Speaking of his experience in May 2014 on the broadcast ‘La vita in ricerca’ with Franco Di Mare for the IV centenary of the death of Saint Camillo, Brother Grasso confirmed that he was happy to work together with those who suffer and those in need, No regrets. for a life full of fun, but one that had left him empty and loaded with questions he couldn’t answer. And on television he remembered how his parable was very similar to that of Saint Camillus himself, who after a reckless life dedicated himself completely to helping others.
