Pier Giorgio Frassati (born April 6, 1901 – died July 4, 1925) was a young Italian Catholic who loved helping others. He was part of a group called the Third Order of Saint Dominic, which meant he followed the teachings of Saint Dominic.

Pier Giorgio cared deeply about social justice, which is about making sure everyone is treated fairly. He joined groups like Catholic Action and the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul. These groups helped poor and struggling people in his hometown of Turin, Italy. He used his strong faith to serve those in need. People remembered him for his kindness and friendly nature.

He was also a big fan of mountaineering and often climbed mountains with his friends. He was a good swimmer and athlete. Pier Giorgio loved helping people from a young age, no matter their background. His family's social standing gave him more chances to help those who needed it most.
