San Leopoldo would have performed another miracle: to heal a girl from a facial infection. The episode would take place in the sanctuary of Loreto where the saint's remains would have been exhibited, during the Exhibition, before returning to Padua.

THE HEALING. According to what reported by the "Mattino di Padova" the prodigious healing would have occurred during the exposition of the remains of San Leopoldo in Loreto: to announce it during the holy mass in honor of the holy friar in the Basilica of Padua, the archbishop Giovanni Tonucci , who is also pontifical delegate for the basilica of Sant'Antonio di Padova and prelate of Loreto.

DOCTORS. The young woman, who would soon have to undergo surgery, was on a pilgrimage together with some family members: it would have been one of them, her aunt, who had placed the handkerchief just passed on the urn of San Leopoldo on the sick part. Once the healing had been ascertained, the doctors would have been left speechless and would still be studying a possible explanation for the mysterious phenomenon. Moreover, it would not be the first time for San Leopoldo: in addition to the three miracles ascertained and recognized by the Church, which "made" him Holy, there are hundreds of graces and miracles attributed to him.
