Reliquary theca with a relic of the Blessed Anthony Torriani (of Torre), O.E.S.A.

Oval glass-fronted silvered brass pendant reliquary theca housing the first-class ex cranium (of the skull) relic of the Blessed Anthony Torriani. The relic is affixed to a gilt paper starburst on a red silk ground, surrounded by silver wire ornamentation, and identified in Latin on a fancy manuscript cedula label as Ex Cran. B. Ant. Turr. (of the skull of the Blessed Anthony Torriani). On the back, the theca is secured with a seal of red Spanish wax bearing an imprint of a coat of arms of an unidentified Roman Catholic Bishop. 

Blessed Anthony Torriani (†1494) was born in Milan, Italy, in 1427. He studied medicine but later became an Augustinian against his family’s wishes. To live in a community that practiced perfect observance, he transferred to the Congregation of Perugia and lived for several years in Foligno. In 1458, he went on a pilgrimage to Saint James of Compostela in Spain and practiced his profession as a physician for the sick poor. From there, he undertook an apostolic journey that led him, over ten years, to various parts of Spain, France, and Italy, where he preached and aided the sick. In 1474, he was assigned to the monastery of Aquila. By appointment of the prior general, he spent eighteen years giving spiritual direction to the Augustinian nuns of the monastery of Saint Lucy, and he established a sodality of Augustinian tertiaries at the church of Saint Augustine. The Augustinian Family remembers Blessed Anthony on 24 July.
