1853 Documented reliquary theca with relic of St. Bernardo da Corleone, OFM Cap.

Oval silvered brass glass-fronted reliquary housing first-class ex ossibus (of the bone) pre-canonization relic of ​​Saint Bernardo da Corleone. The relic is affixed to the background of red silk ground surrounded by silver wire ornamentation and identified in Latin on a manuscript cedula label as Ex Oss. B. Bern. Cor. (From the bone of the Blessed Bernardo da Corleone ). On the back, under a protective cap, the theca is secured with a perfectly preserved seal of red Spanish wax bearing an imprint with a coat of arms of Fr. Giuseppe Maria Pietro Raffaele Castellani O.E.S.A. (†1854), Titular Bishop of Porphyreon (1839-1854), Papal Sacristan and Assistant to the Pontifical Throne of Pope Gregory XVI. The relic is accompanied by the original matching authentics document issued by Fr. Castellani in 1853.

Saint Bernardo da Corleone, O.F.M. Cap (†1667) was a Roman Catholic professed religious from the Order of Friars Minor Capuchin. He was a cobbler like his father until the latter died and he became a violent-tempered soldier who was quick to challenge to a duel those who offended him or the causes he believed in. But one duel went too far and he almost killed his opponent; he fled to the Franciscans in Palermo where he experienced a radical conversion and repented for his previous life. He became severe with himself and inflicted harsh penances on himself such as flagellation. The confirmation of two miraculous healings attributed to his intercession allowed for Clement XIII to preside over the beatification in 1768. Latini received canonization from Pope John Paul II centuries later on 10 June 2001 after the confirmation of one more miracle. His Feast is commemorated on January 12.
