Padre Pio Statue – 14cm
£18.00
In stock
In and around Napoli you see Padre Pio everywhere. He’s on shrines, next to checkouts in supermarkets, on walls in garages and I even have him on a sticker protecting my car. Here in the UK, he is nigh-on impossible to get hold of, so we decided to ask our pal Salvatore in Napoli to make us some statues dedicated to the big man.
Our statues are made from clay and are fired by Salvatore in his studio in the Rione Sanita district of Napoli. If you ever get to go and see him, make sure to take him a packet of cigarettes, as that man loves to smoke whilst he chats with you. Anyway, after being fired they are then hand-painted by Salvatore in a way that makes them look about 200 years older than they actually are, which makes them look even better.
So whether you are a big Padre Pio fan, like weird objects or just like Salvatore’s work, these are about as close as you can get to feeling Neapolitan without visiting the city… which you should definitely do!
