Within the tradition of the Church, relics are not merely ancient museum objects; they are tangible and living signs of holiness, traces of God’s presence manifested through extraordinary men and women throughout history. Treated with the utmost care and devotion, these relics continually invite us to lift our gaze and to follow the example of the saints who have gone before us on the path of faith.

In this beautiful and delicate service to the Church stands out the figure of Antonino Cottone, a dedicated relic maker who for years has devoted his life to preparing and preserving relics for beatifications, canonizations, and for fostering the devotion of the faithful. His workshop is a place where sacred history and meticulous care come together.

Thanks to his close collaboration with the Vatican and with various religious orders around the world, Antonino carries out a fundamental, often quiet work. Through his service, he allows thousands of faithful on every continent to venerate and feel closer to the protection and living witness of our great models of charity and intercessors.
