In this vivid and personal memoir, the late Fr. Gabriele Amorth—renowned exorcist and close friend of Padre Pio—offers a rare glimpse into the extraordinary life of one of the twentieth century’s most beloved saints. Through a mix of personal anecdotes and biographical detail, Fr. Amorth paints a portrait of St. Pio of Pietrelcina as a man of both remarkable holiness and down-to-earth humanity.

From childhood tales, such as his miraculous recovery after eating his mother’s fried bell peppers, to the miracle-filled years of his priesthood, Padre Pio’s life is revealed with warmth, humour, and reverence. This engaging account captures not just his spiritual gifts, but also his wit, storytelling, and simple joy—proof that true sainthood is fully human and wonderfully approachable.
