Overview

Don Antonio Mazzi, the priest‑educator who founded the Exodus community for drug‑addicted and marginalised youth, died on 31 July 2026 in Milan at age 96. The Foundation announced his death, describing him as a visionary and pledging continuity of Exodus activities. Milan’s mayor declared a day of mourning, a public wake was held at Cascina Molino Torrette, and a funeral took place on 3 August at the Basilica of Sant’Ambrogio.

Two days later, Archbishop Mario Delpini, who was on a pastoral visit to Brazil, issued a tribute urging the faithful to remember Mazzi’s legacy. Delpini noted Mazzi’s faith‑driven work and his impact on collaborators and beneficiaries, while confirming that he would not attend the funeral; the Archdiocese was represented by Vicar General Franco Agnesi. Both reports underscore Mazzi’s lasting influence on social‑work models in Italy and abroad.
