History of the tomb of Saint Francis

The tomb came to light on 8 December 1818, and on 12 December the remains of St. Francis were exhumed. In order to facilitate the visits of the growing number of pilgrims to the tomb, a new neo-romanic crypt was opened underneath the lower basilica. On 18 June 1939 Pope Pius XII declared St. Francis patron saint of Italy. A votive lamp with oil donated by the various regions of the Italian peninsula burns on the tomb. On 18 January 1978 Pope Paul VI authorized the Minister General of the Friars Minor Conventuals to proceed with the reopening of the tomb and scientific study of the remains of St. Francis. This took place between 24 January and 4 March 1978.





We ship from Italy

We are located in Rome, ITALY.

We ship directly from Italy. This means all U.S. orders are subject to import tariffs and customs fees as required by U.S. law.

US Tariffs

Due to U.S. import regulations, packages shipped with UPS-only service are subject to 15% tariffs plus UPS brokerage fees upon delivery. To help our customers avoid multiple fees, our standard option (UPS + USPS) consolidates shipments, keeping your shipping cost fixed while still delivering safely to your door.

Shipping Time

When you choose UPS+Local, your order is shipped with UPS to the United States and then handed over to USPS for the final delivery. This process typically takes 10–15 business days in total. This method helps avoid multiple brokerage fees and keeps shipping costs lower, though it is slower than UPS-only service.

Upgrade to UPS-only

If you prefer faster delivery, you can select UPS-only shipping at checkout. With this option, UPS handles the entire journey, your package is fully tracked, and delivery takes about 3–5 business days. Please note that customs duties and brokerage fees will apply upon delivery.
