Abstract

The first expansion of Opus Dei in Italy, in 1949, is described: this consists of an overview together with the criteria given by St. Josemaría for undertaking the trips to make Opus Dei known. With the help of the notes of Luigi Tirelli, one of the people involved in the trips, we focus on the activities carried out in Sicily (Palermo and Catania) up until the opening of the first center of the Work in Palermo (1949). To conclude, an outline of the trips to Italian cities is presented.
