2004 Documented reliquary theca with relic of the Blessed Alberto Marvelli

Rare round yellow-metal reliquary theca housing the first-class ex corpore (of the body) relic of the Blessed Alberto Marvelli. A relic is affixed to a petalled-flower-shaped paper on a red silk ground and identified in Latin on a bi-color typeset cedula label as Ex Corpore Beati Alberti Marvelli (of the bone of Blessed Alberto Marvell).  On the back, under a protective cap, the theca is secured with a seal of red Spanish wax bearing an imprint of a coat of arms of Fr. Mariano De Nicolò, Bishop of Rimini, Italy. The theca is accompanied by the matching authentics document issued and signed by Bishop De Nicolò on September 5th, 2004 (the day of his beatification). 

This item is appropriate for private and public veneration.

Blessed Alberto Marvelli (†1946) was an Italian Catholic and a member of the Catholic Action movement who became noted for his defense of the poor and for selflessness during World War II in tending to the homeless and wounded despite the devastating air raids while placing himself at risk in doing so. Marvelli also saved numerous people from deportation since he would free them from sealed train carriages before the train could set off. Marvelli was also an active champion for social justice and was known for giving his possessions to the poor and homeless, especially during the harsh winter periods. Marvelli's reputation for holiness and his faith led to the cause for his beatification being introduced, and Pope John Paul II beatified Marvelli on September 5, 2004. He is a holy patron of athletes, cyclists, footballers, politicians, youth, and Catholic Action, and he prayed for bodily purity and protection against hernias.
