Relics attributed to San Francesco d'Assisi are being sold on e-commerce platforms, especially in the U.S., with prices reaching up to five thousand dollars. These offerings include small pieces of cloth, traces of blood, and other items, but it has been confirmed that they are fraudulent. This issue has garnered media attention as Assisi hosts a special exhibition to commemorate the 800th anniversary of Francesco's death; the exhibition will continue until March 22. The mayor of Assisi, Valter Stoppini, has raised alarms about this deception, revealing that even items such as holy water are being sold for one euro and access tickets to the exhibition, which should be free, are available for purchase.
