Fra Claudio's holiness is characterized by: a boundless love for God, which made his life a splendid home for him; a prayer made life; an exquisite charity towards all, made singular in the predilection for the poor and the sick; an extraordinary and sweet humility; a deep and filial devotion to the Immaculate Conception.
To the sanctity of life, he combined an appreciated sculptural activity...
generated in prayer and meditation.
