Carlo was born on 3 May, 1991 in London, the city where his Italian parents worked. After his birth the parents decided to come back to Italy. From childhood itself Carlo showed a very peculiar sensitivity to learn and know things related to faith. Carlo was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia. At that moment he was ready to offer his sufferings “for the Lord, the Pope and the Church.” It was shown and his deep spiritual maturity elevated him into heaven.
Carlo has been called “Cyber Apostle of Eucharist”, “Apostle of the Millennials” and more recently “the Apostle of the Internet”. Even Though he lived like an ordinary boy Carlo chose the route to the eternal without being carried away by the current against him. He died on 12, October 2006. He has been among the blessed since 10 October 2020. The miracle that made his beatification possible happened in Brazil.
