For more than a century, the name Savelli has echoed with tradition and Catholic heritage. As a family-run company rooted in Rome—right at the gates of St. Peter’s Basilica—Savelli Religious is more than a store: it’s a spiritual bridge between the Vatican and faithful hearts across the globe.
There’s something timeless about walking through Vatican City. The echo of centuries, the grandeur of St. Peter’s Basilica, and tucked right next to it—Savelli Arte e Tradizione, also known as Savelli Religious, a shop that’s been part of this neighborhood since1898.
This isn’t just any store. Savelli has stood as a spiritual and cultural landmark for over 125 years. Located just steps from St. Peter’s Square, it’s been welcoming pilgrims, visitors, and collectors with the kind of warmth and care you’d expect from a place rooted in the heart of Catholicism.
Artisan craftsmanship and spiritual beauty
What sets Savelli apart is its uncompromising quality. The shop offers a curated selection of religious articles—rosaries, crucifixes, Catholic statues—each chosen for its craftsmanship and significance.
But beyond devotional items, Savelli is also home to one of the most elegant collections of religious jewelry in Rome. From saint medals and crosses to gold and silver pieces that blend sacred symbolism with classic Italian artistry, every item reflects a commitment to beauty, tradition, and faith.
One of the most cherished offerings at Savelli is its complimentary Papal blessing service. Upon request, any item purchased—whether in-store or online—can be taken into the Vatican during the Angelus and blessed by the Holy Father on that occasion.
This profoundly meaningful gesture transforms each purchase into more than just a keepsake—it becomes a spiritual gift, a personal connection to Rome and the Pope himself.
Experience Savelli Wherever You Are
For those who can’t make it to Rome, Savelli Religious offers the same devotion and authenticity through its official online store. Each product, whether chosen in person or digitally, carries the same quality, reverence, and option for a Papal blessing. The online boutique mirrors the elegance and spirituality of the Vatican location, making it easy for believers around the world to bring a piece of Rome into their homes.
A must-visit for pilgrims in Rome
If you’re planning a pilgrimage to the Eternal City, a visit to Savelli Religious is truly unmissable. Conveniently located at Via Paolo VI, 27/29, directly across from St. Peter’s Basilica, the store is incredibly easy to visit right after exploring the Basilica or the Vatican Museum.
You might be looking for a blessed rosary, a beautifully crafted religious medal, or even just a peaceful space to pause and reflect—whatever the reason, Savelli offers it with the same devotion and elegance that have defined the store since 1898.
