Blessed Alberto Marvelli (†1946) was an Italian Catholic and a member of the Catholic Action movement who became noted for his defense of the poor and for selflessness during World War II in tending to the homeless and wounded despite the devastating air raids while placing himself at risk in doing so. Marvelli also saved numerous people from deportation since he would free them from sealed train carriages before the train could set off. Marvelli was also an active champion for social justice and was known for giving his possessions to the poor and homeless, especially during the harsh winter. Marvelli's reputation for holiness and his faith led to the cause for his beatification being introduced, and Pope John Paul II beatified Marvelli in 2004.
Round yellow-metal glass-fronted reliquary theca housing the first-class ex corpore (of the body) relic of the Blessed Alberto Marvelli. The relic is affixed to a red silk ground and identified in Latin on a typeset cedula label as Ex Corpore / B. Alb. Marvelli C. (of the body of the Blessed Alberto Marvelli, Confessor). On the back, under a protective cap, the theca is secured with a seal of red Spanish wax bearing an imprint of a coat of arms of Monsignor Giuseppe Mani, Archbishop of Cagliari, Italy. The relic is accompanied by the original matching authentics document issued and sealed in 2005 by the Archbishop of Cagliari.
