Archivio delle
Relquie
The relic archive
Archivio delle Reliquie is Soli’s collection of devotional objects & symbolic artefacts, collected from our collection of vintage Italian art books. Detailing fragments of myth, memory & ritual, drawn from our spiritual heritage. A living archive of sacred material culture. Ex-votos, amulets, talismans, charms, sculptures and icons that carried protection, inspiration & faith through generations.
Each relic is studied & photographed to document its history, symbolism & craftsmanship, preserving the quiet language of objects that were, & still are, believed to hold power.
