My Son Carlo: Carlo Acutis Through the Eyes of His Mother

Antonia Salzano Acutis shares for the first time the intimate, private moments of her son's life

In My Son Carlo, Carlo Acutis’ mother, Antonia, tells her son’s story in her very own words.

Carlo Acutis became the first millennial to be beatified by the Catholic Church on Oct. 10, 2020. Pope Francis declared his feast day to be Oct. 12, the anniversary of his death in Milan, Italy. His tomb is located in Assisi's Sanctuary of the Renunciation, a part of the Church of St. Mary Major.

In this book, Antonia shares stories and memories from Carlo's daily life of extraordinary virtue and holiness. Antonia also shares her own faith journey and the ways in which Carlo "showed me how to spend my days in the light of eternity." In the same way, Carlo desires all of us to come to know and love Jesus like he did.
