Padre Pio predicted his death to Aldo Moro

Padre Pio, the stigmatized Capuchin friar venerated by many as a saint even before his canonization was well known for his prophetic and miraculous abilities. One of the most surprising and disturbing prophecies attributed to Padre Pio concerns the tragic fate of Aldo Moro, a leading figure in Italian politics and president of the Christian Democrats.

Aldo Moro, born in 1916, was a politician of deep Catholic faith, whose policies were often influenced by his vision moral and religious. His devotion to Padre Pio was well known, and Moro visited San Giovanni Rotondo, where Padre Pio resided, at least three times. These visits, two while Padre Pio was still alive and one in 1976, they were signs of the profound esteem and respect that Moro had for the friar.

Padre Pio's prophecy about Moro's end was revealed in detail in the book “Kill Moro. Truths hidden between spiritualism and misdirections. I was there", written by Antonio Cornacchia, retired general of the Carabinieri. According to Cornacchia's story, during the last meeting between Moro and Padre Pio, which took place on May 15, 1968, the friar predicted a "violent and premature death” for the politician.

This revelation was confirmed by Oreste Leonardi, Moro's head of security, who was present during the meeting. Leonardi, a Carabinieri marshal and member of the Rome Investigative Unit, was a Moro's trusted man and never left him alone. According to his testimonies, reported by Cornacchia, it was he who heard the dire prediction of Padre Pio.

Padre Pio's prophecy comes true

The prophecy yes it came true in a tragic and dramatic way. The 16 March 1978, Moro was victim of a terrorist ambush organized by the Red Brigades. Moro's kidnapping and murder were events that profoundly shook Italy, marking a dark period in the country's history. The attack, which occurred in Via Fani in Rome, not only did he take Moro's life, but he also left an indelible scar in the memory of Italy.

Padre Pio's prophecy was not only a prediction of a tragic event, but also reflected tensions political and social of Italy at the time. The period was marked by conflicts internal, terrorism and a deep ideological division, making Padre Pio's prophecy even more resonant and disturbing.
