Italian police have tracked down a stolen relic of St John Bosco which had been hidden inside a copper teapot in a kitchen cupboard.
The press office of the Salesians in nearby Turin announced that Italian military police obtained a search warrant and discovered the relic early that morning in the home of a 42-year-old Italian man identified only by the initials C.G.
From previous encounters with the law, the man's fingerprints were on file and they were found on the glass case protecting the relic and reliquary in the lower Basilica of St John Bosco in the town of Castelnuovo Don Bosco.
