Many people came to the community hall to take part in the event, most notably members of Sister Luisa’s family, Sisters Carmen and Maria Adele and her brother Giuseppe. He was the one who greeted Don Andrea Restelli, who introduced the guests of the evening. In fact, the author took part in a round table with Sister Gabriella Orsiwho met Sister Louise during her mission to Haiti, Prof. Gianni La Bella from the University of Modena, member of the “new martyrs” commission created by the Pope for the 2025 anniversary, and student journalist Giovanni Veggiotti, who moderated the evening.

The program was also to include Sister Giovanna Sartori, superior of the Sisters of Santa Maria di Loreto (Vercelli), who collaborated with Sister Louise in Haiti. The nun could not come, and Sister Gabriella Orsi from the religious community of the Servants of Jesus Christ from Agrate was invited and willingly received in her place. “When Giovanni (ed. Veggiotti) asked me to come, I immediately said no. I didn’t want it in such a short time, but then Sister Louise’s face appeared in front of me, I thought about her and told myself that I couldn’t help but do it,” Sister Gabriella said, then explaining when she met Little Sister Gospel for the first time. “In May 2012, I went to Haiti with the nuns of Santa Maria di Loreto and Preziosine Monza. This was our first experience of intercongregational communication.” When the sisters arrived at the airport, they were greeted by Sister Louise. “We immediately felt supported by her. He introduced us to the religious and church life of Haiti,” Sister Gabriella continued, explaining that despite the distance between them, who were in Northeastern tip of the islandand sister Louise, who was in capital Port-au-Prince, they were always in touch. “As often happens when we are offered a finger, we took Sister Louise’s whole hand. She always helped us, even when we ran out of food, she sent us boxes of food. He was reserved but constant.” Sister Gabriella also recalled the summer when Sister Louise would take the boys and girls she cared for to the area where she and the other sisters lived. “The distance between us was significant, and even communication was not very good, so much so that when she passed away, we were the first to know about it from Agrate.” Speaking about the death of Louise’s sister, her sister said: “She passed away silently, the same way she lived: on tiptoe. It didn’t make any noise. Maybe we’re making more noise now, and knowing Louise, I don’t know if she’d like it.”

It was from this reflection that Giovanni Veggiotti asked Lucia Capuzzi what prompted her to write The Universal Sister. Sister Luisa Dell’Orto is a woman, a philosopher and a martyr.” Capuzzi, a journalist for the Catholic newspaper Avvenire, explained that she was very impressed by the meeting with Sister Louise. “Haiti has extremes, and Louise went through its agony. We managed to meet for the third time while I was there. Everyone told me about her, who knew so clearly how to tell a Haitian drama. When I met her, I was struck by her ability to be a woman of action, dedicated to the education of young people, and at the same time an intellectual. I didn’t expect this to be the one scientist-philosopher, instead she wrote, studied and taught.” But what impressed the author most was the significance that Little Sister of the Gospel gaveeducation. “There is an incredible level of anarchy and violence in Haiti. Poverty is exacerbated by rising violence, so much so that the UN is discussing sending troops. Louise thought about the book because she was a visionary. In addition to contingents, it is important to work with people, to help them liberate themselves, which is what she did. She taught and invested in learning,” Capuzzi said, recalling how Sister Louise negotiated with families of enslaved children to convince them to let them study. “He said that they would become more effective servants, in fact the child, through training, would open his mind and be able to free himself tomorrow.” 
Sister Gabriella’s latest statement also struck a chord with Professor Gianni La Bella, who explained why he believes it is important to continue to remember Sister Louise. “Our religion is a religion of memory. Every Sunday at Mass we remember Jesus. Today, more than ever, we need to focus on one of us in our minds and hearts and allow ourselves to be led. Louise is the person who played with you, ran with you, read the catechism with you. Louise is one of us who was able to testify to us that it is possible to live the gospel to the fullest.” The professor of modern history at the University of Modena also recalled why Louise decided to leave everything to devote herself to the mission. In fact, as she herself wrote, she took the gospel back into her own hands and he met Jesus of Nazareth. “Sister Louise’s invitation is to bring the Bible back to the center of our homes.” La Bella continued: “Sister Louise crucified her life on the crucifix of the people of Haiti, who are dizzy with the loss of meaning in human life. Did it make sense to stay where everything seemed to have no future? Yes, because the main thing was to be close to the fragments of life, to what seems meaningless, and not to great things. Sister Louise’s life is a sign that will help many Haitians. His blood was given for the resurrection of this people.” 
Avvenire journalist Lucia Capuzzi
In the evening, the author Lucia Capuzzi wanted to thank Father Giuseppe Dell’Orto, sister Luisa’s brother, for the letters he provided her, which provided useful material for writing. The volume, as has been explained, is divided into two parts. The first contains testimonies and passages from Luisa’s life, and the second contains various letters that Luisa sent to the Lomagna community.
