Normally pilgrims have two goals in mind after their experience under the burning sun at the weekly General Audience.<\/p>\n
First: to replenish their energy, by going to a typical pizzeria in a neighborhood like Borgo Pio.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Second: to buy souvenirs like rosaries, books, food and wine, as well as the finest Italian liqueur.<\/p>\n
This small business where Giulia works specializes in religious products, or rather products made by religious men and women.<\/p>\n

\n'Honey is one of our best products, moms and grandmothers really appreciate the extra virgin olive oil. These are the products that sell the most.\u00e2?\u009d<\/p>\n
Here you can find the best 'Amaros,' a herbal liqueur typical of Italy. There are also beers, made in the monasteries of Central Europe, and the best wine to liven up parties as the pope says.<\/p>\n

\n'There is no celebration without wine!\u00e2?\u009d<\/p>\n
What few people know however is that the best-selling products of this store are not gastronomic, but cosmetic. They range from deodorants, to shampoos and skin creams, and have all been made using a natural formula that was kept secret for decades.<\/p>\n

\n'To me personally, as a woman, the products that I like the most are the creams, ointments, and shampoos. Each product comes from a different abbey. The Montevergine monks specialize in Amaros and extra virgin olive oil. For example, their standard line of body oils sells a lot, like shampoos and shower gels. The creams that the nuns of Orte prepare sell very well and are very effective, or at least that's what our customers say.\u00e2?\u009d \u00a0<\/p>\n
Take note that the kings of cosmetics are not multinational companies, but instead monks in abbeys. As the saying goes: 'Mens sana in corpore sano.\u00e2?\u009d Take care of the soul, but do not forget the body.<\/p>\n
