Summary/Abstract: The contribution intends to highlight, in an essential and synthetic way, the main moments of Fr. Luigi Giussani’s life that have proved to be particularly decisive for the genesis, taking shape and maturation of his conception of education. These moments occurred in the life of his family, in the span of his formation in the Seminary of Venegono, in the period of teaching religion at the Berchet High School in Milan and in the years of maturity and old age. Reflecting on the experience lived each time in such circumstances, Giussani has progressively outlined a conception of education that has as its foundations reality, experience, reason, beauty, freedom, and which presents itself today as valid no longer only for adolescents and young people, but also for every person in all ages of life.
