Giuseppe

Giuseppe Trovato was born in Sicily in 1944, but he lived and worked for many years in Germany where his 3 sons are still living.

Two of the sons and especially Dario, the youngest, visited him in Auroville several times.

Giuseppe arrived in Auroville at the end of 1991 when he started running the community kitchen in Bharat Nivas. Then he built Samarpan Guest House on the beach not far from Quiet. In 2004 he moved to Certitude.

He taught hatha yoga for quite a few years and was a devotee of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother, keeping almost always with him a picture of the Mother. He loved silence and meditation, visiting daily the MM gardens until his health did not allow him to.

For the last few years he was suffering from a form of dementia.  A group of Aurovilians supported him with the help of caregivers until his passing.
