Nevermind... just saw the photoi at the link!

Extraordinary condition! He looks alive.

It is a remarkable image of his face, but as they say:

He said pilgrims should not be disappointed that Padre Pio's body was not in perfect condition when it was exhumed last month. Skilled morticians worked round the clock to reconstruct the partially decomposed corpse and render him recognisable. Thanks to a silicone mask, designed by a London waxworks company, the faithful can now see the familiar face with grey beard and dark eyebrows.

Several other intact holy corpses have been given artificial faces which reproduce their appearance in life, rather than as corpses.

I read in the local paper that his face is actually a mask...

Dunno if it’s true or not.
