Editing Jorge Ángel Livraga Rizzi (section)

==Biography==

His mother, Victoria Rizzi, and his father, Ángel Livraga, an industrial engineer, were of Italian origin whose families had emigrated to Argentina in the late 19th century; (Livraga himself would later gain Italian citizenship). Livraga's father died when he was 15, and this led to a spiritual crisis, where, via his English teacher, he eventually came into contact with the Argentine [[Theosophical Society]] in the early fifties.<ref name="About the founder of NA">{{cite news|title=About the founder of NA |work=New Acropolis Uruguay website |url=http://www.acropolis.org.uy/QuienesSomos/JAL.asp |access-date=2008-03-29 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080113142116/http://acropolis.org.uy/QuienesSomos/JAL.asp |archive-date=2008-01-13 |url-status=dead }}</ref> He was a member of the Theosophical Society from 1950 to 1962.<ref>{{cite news| title = Theosophy talk| work =archives | url = http://www.theos-talk.com/archives/199802/tt00311.html| access-date = 2016-04-28}}</ref> 

At some point, he founded the magazine ''Estudios Teosóficos'' with [[Ada Albrecht]], and founded [[New Acropolis]], an association intended to promote Philosophy, along the lines of the classical Schools of Philosophy, such as Plato’s Academy.  Livraga began to expand New Acropolis to other Latin American countries: Uruguay, Chile (in 1965),<ref>{{cite news|title=About NA |work=New Acropolis Chile website |url=http://www.nueva-acropolischile.org/que_es_na.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070217005425/http://www.nueva-acropolischile.org/que_es_na.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=2007-02-17 |access-date=2008-03-29 }}</ref> Perú, Brasil and Bolivia.<ref name="About the founder of NA"/> Livraga's activities during this period consisted in writing the extensive course manuals.<ref>{{cite news| title = Study program| work = New Acropolis UK website| url = http://www.newacropolisuk.org/Courses.php| access-date = 2008-03-27| archive-date = 2016-07-17| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20160717195426/http://www.newacropolisuk.org/courses.php| url-status = dead}}</ref>
