Verso l'alto means to the heights referring to heaven! It is a quote from Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati. This Verso l'alto design perfect for the Catholic friend, sibling, or especially young Catholic college student or high school student who loves saint quotes and showing off their Catholic faith. It can also be given as a gift for any Catholic friend, millennial, or teen. Hang it up as decoration in your Newman Center or Catholic campus ministry! It is also fitting in time for Bl. Pier Giorgio Frassati's feast day on July 4!

Translated literally from the Italian, "verso l'alto" simply means "to the top" or "towards the heights." The phrase comes from an iconic picture of Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati as he is scaling the side of a cliff. Frassati had scribbled the phrase on the picture after it had been printed by a friend. Metaphorically, however, the phrase means, "orient your entire life toward God." In all that you do, in all that you are, seek the path that leads you to God. Blessed Pier Giorgio is a beautiful witness to living out this mantra.
