I am familiar with Sant Egidio community, may I ask is that your name or are you "from" Egidio?     
Anyway Ciao!  No that is not a reputable place to get a pup.  If you are in need of help in finding a reputable breeder I'd be happy to get you some references.   
I am a bit curious though and wonder if surprising someone with a puppy is such a good idea?  Do they want a puppy?  Can they afford a puppy?
