'''Giorgio Ceragioli''' (June 24, 1930 – July 17, 2008) was an Italian [[engineer]], [[university professor|professor]] and a leader in the pro-''[[Third World]]'' movement in Italy.<ref name="sdtm">{{cite web |url=http://www.diocesi.torino.it/diocesitorino/allegati/25014/La%20nostra%20storia.doc |title=La nostra storia |website=Servizio diocesano Terzo Mondo |language=it |access-date=December 27, 2009 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304003151/http://www.diocesi.torino.it/diocesitorino/allegati/25014/La%20nostra%20storia.doc |archive-date=March 4, 2016}}</ref>

==Biography==
Giorgio Ceragioli was born in [[Torino]] the 24 June 1930. His grandfather was a well known Italian artist also named [[Giorgio Ceragioli (sculptor)|Giorgio]] and his father Mario worked as [[engineer]] for [[Torino]]'s municipality. He studied [[civil engineering]] at the [[Polytechnic University of Turin|local university]] where, after a period of independent professional work as engineer, he became [[professor]] of ''[[Architectural technology|Technology of Architecture]]''. In his youth he volunteered for the local branch of the [[Society of Saint Vincent de Paul]]. Later he became a leader of the [[Azione Cattolica]] where he supported his pro-[[Third-world]] vision establishing the ''Centro Cattolico Torinese contro la fame nel mondo'' and organising the first ''Quaresima di Fraternità''. This meant that all money collected by the Catholic Church during the [[Lent]], instead of being used locally, was devoted to projects in the [[developing countries]].<ref name="gorzegno">{{Cite news |title=Ceragioli, un'anima al futuro |first=Edo |last=Gorzegno |newspaper=La Voce del Popolo |date=August 3, 2008 |location=Torino |language=it}}</ref> His activity led him to travel a lot; he visited India several times getting in touch with the [[Sarvodaya]] movement established by [[Vinoba Bhave]]. Back in Italy he launched with [[Giovanni Ermiglia]] ''Assefa'' (Association for Sarva Seva Farms), a still widespread [[Non-governmental organization|NGO]] which economically supports Sarvodaya activities in India and also aims to promote [[Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi|Gandhi's]] principles across Italy.

During the years Assefa provided thousands of lower class Indian farmers with the means necessary to start the cultivation of the land voluntarily given by landowners to [[Bhoodan movement]] (or ''Land Gift Movement''). This kind of action has been particularly strong in the state of [[Tamil Nadu]] and [[Andhra Pradesh]];<ref name="assefa">{{cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=YyOtV791sr8C&q=assefa+Tamil+Nadu&pg=PA57 |title=Social Security for the Excluded Majority: Case Studies of Developing Countries |publisher=International Labour Office |year=1999 |pages=57–58 |isbn=978-92-2-110856-6 |access-date=December 13, 2016}}</ref> Assefa also supports [[primary education]] and women's self-organisation. In December 1968 he also established ''[[Movimento Sviluppo e Pace]]'', a humanitarian non-religious [[Non-governmental organization|NGO]] implementing projects for [[sustainable development]] in poor countries<ref>{{cite news |url=http://ricerca.repubblica.it/repubblica/archivio/repubblica/2015/09/09/la-chiesa-torinese-salvata-dai-cristiani-degli-altri-mondiTorino09.html |title=La Chiesa torinese salvata dai cristiani 'degli altri mondi' |last=Berardi |first=Mario |date=September 9, 2015 |newspaper=[[La Repubblica]] |language=it |access-date=December 16, 2015}}</ref>

As a university professor his main fields of interest were [[self-build]] and [[appropriate technology]], to which he devoted the main part of his educational and scientific activity. In 1988 he established the ''Scuola di specializzazione in Tecnologia, architettura e città nei PVS'', an international post-graduate school of the [[Polytechnic University of Turin]] dealing with habitat problems of [[developing countries]]. He was director of the school until 1996, when he had to retire due to [[Parkinson's disease]]. In 2003 the school was turned into the ''Centro di ricerca e di documentazione in Tecnologia, architettura e città nei Paesi in via di sviluppo''.<ref name="poli">{{cite web |url=http://areeweb.polito.it/ricerca/crd-pvs/chi.php |title=Chi siamo |website=Centro di ricerca e di documentazione in Tecnologia, architettura e città nei Paesi in via di sviluppo |language=it |access-date=August 17, 2013}}</ref>

After his death was established for his memory the ''Comitato Giorgio Ceragioli'', a committee which managed a [[scholarship|fellowship]] [[Financial endowment|endowment]] devoted to support [[dissertation]]s or research projects about habitat in [[developing countries]].<ref name="found">{{cite book |title=Il comitato Giorgio Ceragioli - attività, contributi, risultati |publisher=[[Politecnico di Torino]] - Centro di Ricerca e Documentazione in Tecnologia, Architettura e Città nei Paesi in via di sviluppo |author=VV.AA. |language=it |year=2011 |location=Turin}}</ref> Also the ''Università del dialogo'' (literally ''University of dialog''), an interdisciplinary school held by SERMIG of Torino, is dedicated to Giorgio Ceragioli (together with the [[Vietnam]]ese [[Cardinal (Catholicism)|catholic cardinal]] [[Nguyễn Văn Thuận]]).<ref name="uni_dia">{{cite web |url=http://giovanipace.sermig.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=5102&Itemid=835&lang=it |title=Inaugurata l'università del dialogo |website=Università del Dialogo |language=it |access-date=August 17, 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite book |last=Olivero |first=Ernesto |page=132 |title=Il sogno di Dio.
