Don Andrea Gallo (Genoa, 18 July 1928 - 22 May 2013) was an Italian presbyter, founder and leader of the community of San Benedetto al Porto of Genoa. He often called himself a "priest of the sidewalk", referring to his activity of helping poor and needy people 

Don Andrea Gallo "My gospels are not four... We follow since years and years the gospel according to De André, a path that is in obstinate and contrary direction. And we can confirm it, note it: from diamonds nothing is born, from dung flowers bloom." —Interview at La storia siamo noi: "Preti di strada", august 2007, Rai Tre
