On Sunday 8 November 2026, the day of the patron saint's feast of San Martino, the Oratorio di Vergiate hosts the sixth edition of "Caffè con l'Autore" (Coffee with the Author). The guest of the meeting is Rolando Del Torchio, a former Pime missionary kidnapped by the Abu Sayyaf terrorists, who shares his testimony and talks with the audience. At the centre is the book "Guardavo il cielo", the account of 181 days of captivity: the portrait of a man who, though a prisoner, refuses to be deprived of his deepest freedom. What emerges is a reflection on faith, fear and hope, on the inner resources of the human soul even in extreme situations. The initiative is promoted by the Comunità Pastorale di Vergiate with the Commissione Cultura and is held in the oratory, with entrance from via don Enrico Locatelli 1. Admission is free and coffee is offered.
