As a young boy, Carlo displayed an unwavering faith. He attended Mass daily, spent hours in Eucharistic adoration, and studied the lives of saints. His deep understanding of the Eucharist led him to develop a website dedicated to documenting Eucharistic miracles around the world.

Exceptional Life, Eternal Impact

Carlo's life was not without challenges. In 2006, he was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia. Despite the pain and suffering, he remained steadfast in his faith and offered his suffering for the sick and dying.

On October 12, 2006, Carlo passed away at the age of 15. His death shocked and saddened many, but his legacy continued to inspire countless others.
