ANTHONY AIELLO

Press photo

Aiello is working on Caruso memorial candle.

I read about this candle before I discovered this picture:
Mentioned as a candle which will burn 1000 years, (5000 years it says on the back of this image) it is supposed to be at the church Santuario della Beata Vergine del Rosario in Pomei, Italy.
Nobody knows anything about a Caruso memorial candle there.

This photo is the only proof so far that the candle was actually made. If it ever made it’s way to Pompei is questionable.
