Exposition of the venerated body of the Messina Saint,
Saint Hannibal M. Di Francia, in the Basilica-Sanctuary of Messina, in preparation for the centenary of his birth into heaven, which will open on June 1, 2026. Saint Hannibal is the Saint of charity who gave his life to the poor and contributed to the material, moral, and spiritual reconstruction of the city of Messina immediately after the 1908 earthquake.
