“Carlo was an ordinary child like (others). He used to play, have friends, and go to school. But his extraordinary quality was the fact that he opened the door of his heart to Jesus and put Jesus in the first place in his life,” said Antonia Salzano.
The new saint’s final resting place, where Carlo is entombed with a wax mould of his likeness placed over his body, wearing his track top, jeans and trainers, has become a popular devotional site, attracting thousands of worshippers every day.
It will be the first sainthood ceremony presided over by Pope Leo XIV after his election in May.
At the same time, Leo will also canonise Pier Giorgio Frassati, a young Italian man who was known for helping those in need and died of polio in the 1920s.
