History of Italy
Soon after the death of Dominic, John Bosco wrote his biography, "The Life of Dominic Savio", which contributed to his canonisation. The original Italian edition was considered so well written during the time of Don Bosco that, along with his "History of Italy" and "Ecclesiastical History", it was used in many public schools as part of the course materials on the Italian language. Among the other writings of John Bosco are the "Biography of Fr. Joseph Cafasso", "The Life of Francis Besucco" and "The Life of Michael Magone".
