Dubbed “God’s Influencer” or the “Cyber Apostle”, Acutis spent much of his short life spreading the Catholic faith online.
Carlo was born in London to Italian parents on May 3, 1991, but mostly grew up in Milan. He spent holidays in the family’s second home in Assisi, and eventually died in Monza, northern Italy.
