Antonio & Nunzia Mauro
SALERNO, ITALY
Antonio Mauro was born and raised in Naples, Italy, about an hour out of Salerno. He has a deep love and understanding of the needs of the people of Salerno. Antonio serves at Nuova Vita on the leadership team, specifically overseeing the ongoing vision of the church, the preaching and teaching of the Word, as well as discipleship and evangelism to both people inside and outside the walls of Nuova Vita.
Nunzia (Salvini) Mauro is a Salerno native. She was called to be one of the caregivers of her people and Nuova Vita. Until 2016, Nunzia claimed to be an active Catholic. She taught Catholic Catechism for years and taught the local youth things about Christ which were rooted in tradition rather than in truth. But God started pursuing her through missionaries and pastors and Christian friends. During a two-year internship, Nunzia was given the opportunity to learn how to disciple other women, to lead the women’s ministry in the church, and to study theology while supporting the student ministry on the university campus of Salerno. Today she is a leading missionary at Nuova Vita Church.

NUOVA VITA
The mission of Nuova Vita is to glorify God as they make disciples who live transformed lives of worship, and who seek to represent the Gospel to every man, woman and child. Located on the Southwest coast of Italy in the town of Salerno, local leaders have adopted this church plant to show their fellow Italians the love of Christ.
Much like the rest of Italy, Salerno has had a long history of Catholic tradition and is therefore a very challenging spiritual climate to spread the Gospel. In Italy, there is only 1% confessing Evangelical Christians, and within that 1%, it is difficult to find truly Gospel-centered churches. Nuova Vita was found in 2012 by American missionaries but turned over to native Italian leadership. Nuova Vita has since become a thriving church plant.
