Italy's Gandhi Dislikes Fame Yet Lives Up To It
Danilo Dolci, 38, Italian social worker famed as the so called Italian Gandhi, rejects personality cults but his work in Sicily mirrors Gandhi's nonviolence. He organized hunger strikes, helped build schools, pulled down slums, and pushed a major dam project to irrigate 23 000 acres as part of a seven year campaign against government neglect and Mafia sabotage. He mentors centers for peasants and risks hunger to keep the dam effort moving.
