From the day Lorenzo Snow stepped out of a carriage onto Italian soil in 1850 to the day that Thomas S. Monson turned a shovel of Italian soil to break ground for a temple in 2010, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has made evangelizing a high priority in Italy. Mormon missionary work unfolded against a backdrop of historical forces political upheaval, world wars, social change, and internal Church dynamics that presented both obstacles and opportunity for growth. Over the span of a century and a half, the Church managed to establish a small but significant presence in Italy.
This research offers a comprehensive account and thorough analysis of the people, events, and issues related to this important chapter in Italian and Church history. It highlights the human drama associated with encounters between foreign missionaries and local spiritual seekers and explores the implications of religious growth across obstacles of faith, geography, and culture.
