Carlo Acutis was born May 3, 1991, in London, where his parents were working. Just a few months later, he moved with his parents, Andrea Acutis and Antonia Salzano, to Milan, Italy.
Carlo was diagnosed with leukemia as a teenager. He offered his sufferings for Pope Benedict XVI and for the Church, saying: “I offer all the suffering I will have to suffer for the Lord, for the pope, and the Church.”
He died on Oct. 12, 2006, and was buried in Assisi, at his request, because of his love for St. Francis of Assisi. His cause for canonization began in 2013. He was declared “Venerable” in 2018 and was declared “Blessed” on Oct. 10, 2020.

Brushed Aluminum Icon
Our stunning brushed aluminum icons provide depth and texture to every work of art. Made with a silver brushed aluminum Dibond panel, also known as AluDibond Butler Finish Silver, these icons are visually breathtaking and built to last a lifetime. They're durable and incredibly lightweight, making them ideal for even the largest of formats and with highly saturated colors.
Features:
The icon is matte and glare-free, so no matter where you hang it, the light won't interfere with its beauty.
The colors on this print are highly saturated, even in large monochrome areas, ensuring the artwork pops off the surface.
The brushed silver AluDibond creates a unique metallic finish, adding a special touch.
The grain direction is horizontal, giving it an even more dynamic look.
Our aluminum icon comes in a thickness of approximately 3mm /0.12", providing a sturdy and rigid base.
Our direct printing technique ensures that your icon is printed straight onto the surface of the aluminum Dibond panel, guaranteeing the highest quality reproduction.
White is not printed onto brushed aluminum icons. Any white in icon shines through as a unique metallic silver.
We've also included a hanging kit, which may vary depending on the country of fulfillment.
Sizes may vary slightly by region. For the US and Canada, the measurement is in inches, while for the rest of the world, it is in centimeters.
