Carlo was born in London to Italian parents. He moved to Milan with his family when you was very young. His love and interest in Catholicism emerged very early. His love for the religion at just 7 years old was so infectious that it inspired his mother, Antonia Acutis, to rejoin the church. Even as a child, he would go to mass every day.
After he passed away, his mother said that people from all over the world contacted her to tell her about medical miracles they experienced after they prayed to her son, anywhere from cures for cancer to infertility, she heard about it all.
“Carlo was the light answer to the dark side of the web,” his mother said, adding tat some people who admired her late son called him an “influencer for God.”
