| teatrino [IT] | little theatre (literally) or small-scale theatre | DB often referred to and in fact encouraged ''teatrino'' in contrast to ''teatro'', possibly because he considered the large scale theatre as too worldly. This would be consistent with his view (from first meeting Cafasso as a young seminarian) that worldly shows are not for the priest or religious person.His understanding of ''teatrino'', however, was also conditioned by necessity - especially during the time of the wandering Oratory, or on the autumn walks. | MO:..quelli, che io per bene non conosceva. Taluni volevano guidarmi ad un teatrino, altri a fare una partita al.. |
| Tej-Prasarini [SA] | Tej-Prasarini (Spreader of light) | The Salesian Catechetical Centre at Pune, 1991 transformed into Tej-Prasarini (the Sanskrit term is used rather than its translated form in English). The centre specializes in the formation of young people through Don Bosco Creative Workshops, and tele-productions, video, music etc. | |
| temperanza [IT] | temperance | Often as part of the phrase 'work and temperance'. The term on its own in English (that is outside of a spiritual or ascetic context) mostly refers to abstinence from alcohol! But it is hard to avoid in Salesian discourse which draws on the long Salesian tradition of work and temperance and prayer, which is perhaps the best company in which to understand the term - between work and prayer. | DBscritti:..Una speciale temperanza vi raccomando nel mangiare e nel bere.. |
| tempo libero [IT] | free time | The term is a current expression, not one to be found in earlier Salesian discourse, but which picks up much of what DB saw as important in games, music, sport, walks, theatre and so forth. | MO:..Ma oltre ai doveri scolastici rimanendomi molto tempo libero, io soleva impiegarne una parte a leggere... |
| Terzo settore [IT] | (Third Sector) | We do not refer to the Third Sector regularly (if ever) in English. It is what we would refer to as the Volunteer, NGO sector. Cf also Quarto settore | CSmanImprese:..terzo settore dell'impegno ispettoriale del delegato |
| testamento spirituale [IT] | | The full title is ''Memorie dal 1841 al 1884-5-6 pel sac. Gio Bosco a'suoi figliuoli salesiani'', not to be confused with the 'Memoirs of the Oratory'. | DBmem [TESTAMENTO SPIRITUALE]. Quello che nella tradizione salesiana verrà correttamente definito il "testamento spirituale" di don Bosco, in realtà... |
| Testimoni del Risorto TR 2000 [IT] | Witnesses of the Resurrection TR 2000 | An ecclesial movement founded in lead-up to the Year 2000 but continues on into Third Millennium. Members of the Salesian Family. | |
| tettoia | shed | Salesians know the word ''tettoia'' as a reference especially to the shed offered by Pancrazio Soave (Pinardi Shed which came to be called ''Casa Pinardi'' by Don Bosco) just at the time, as recounted in MO, DB was wondering and praying about what to do for his boys, where to gather them. However, it is worth noting that in a letter to Michele Benso Cavour, Vicar of the City of Turin, DB described the ''tettoia'' rather as a ''camera grande''! Tettoia is the word used in the contract of lease. | |
| The Daughters of the Queenship of Mary DQM [EN] | The Daughters of the Queenship of Mary DQM | Founded in Bangkok. Thailand in 1954 by Fr C. Della Torre. Members of the Salesian Family | |

| Torino [IT] | Turin | The scene of Don Bosco's priestly ministry, the Oratory at Valdocco and the urban heart of Piedmont. The history of Turin begins 500 years before the birth of Jesus Christ, when the Taurini, a Ligurian Celtic tribe, settled where the Po river meets the Doire. They chose this river plain which presented the ideal conditions: it was fertile and its position was strategic. In effect, several centuries later, the Romans made it a fundamental lookout base towards the Alps border. Thus in 1 BC, Augusta Taurinorum was born, structured in its classical Roman camp layout which today still remains the most obvious aspect of the town's urbanistic structure. Following the collapse of the Roman empire, Turin saw a long period of decadence caused by the passage of destructive hordes of barbarians. Then came the dynasty of Savoy who would govern the town and the state for more than 8 centuries. It was only with Emmanuel Philibert that Turin regained its importance. The Duke from the House of Savoy took the historic decision in 1563 to make Turin the capital of the Duchy.From this moment on, the still limited town inside the Roman ramparts, began to grow and become important: the capital for three centuries and also the first capital in Italy for almost four years, when in 1861, Victor Emmanuel II of Savoy was proclaimed the first King of Italy. Between the 19th and 20th centuries, the industrial vocation of Turin was established. The town saw pioneering centres for modern industry spring up, starting with the FIAT, the large automotive factory founded in 1899. Turin however also saw the birth of the cinema industry (the first blockbuster in the history of cinema, Cabiria, was made in the Turin studios) and radio. | |
| tradizione salesiana [IT] | Salesian tradition | A term which is both a general reference but also with particular features, e.g. devotion to Mary Help of Christians. It is not so general as to fail to be a point of reference for determining what is or what is not of the 'tradition'. Salesian tradition, then is synonymous with that particular character and style of the founding charism of Don Bosco's. | Costituzioni:.. Fondatore.. Esse descrivono le ricchezze spirituali della nostra tradizione salesiana; |
| Transunto [IT] | Summary | A collection of papers, or a folder which has the seal of the Congregation for the Causes of Saints on it and which contains the Acts of the Diocesan investigation into the heoric virtues of the person in question. The term is rather specialised and tends to be used more often in its original form, since 'summary' seems rather too broad. | ...è stato aperto il cosiddetto "Transunto", cioè il plico sigillato contenente gli Atti dell'Inchiesta diocesana sull'eroicità della vita e delle virtù, nonché sulla fama di santità del Servo di Dio Carlos Crespi Croci, S.D.B. |
