Centro Studi Don Bosco

The Don Bosco Studies Center (CSDB) at the Pontifical Salesian University of Rome (UPS) is a center for scientific research on Don Bosco. The CSDB consists of two sections: (1) Salesian Spirituality of the Faculty of Theology; (2) Salesian Education and Pedagogy of the Faculty of Education Sciences. These sections are formed by academics who research, publish and teach in their respective specializations of Salesian Studies.

Bibliographic material of the CSDB library is divided into 23 sections. Consultation of materials stored in the CSDB is allowed to everyone with regular access to the UPS Central Library.

The CSDB materials can be consulted only during the opening hours of the Central Library and common reading rooms.
