Saint Dominic Savio Mug

This Saint Dominic Savio mug can mark a name day or become a reminder for someone connected with the Salesian family. His teenage portrait and the milestones on the reverse recall a pupil of John Bosco whose life unfolded among lessons, prayer and friendship with other boys. Choose it for his name or for an experience shared at a school, oratory or Salesian community.

An old portrait of the young saint

The image presents the young man in an oval, wearing a dark jacket and bow tie. It retains the character of an old representation and identifies the saint to whom you are dedicating the gift. The portrait gives a recognisable reference for someone who knows his story.

Dominic was born near Chieri and continued his education at the Valdocco Oratory. John Bosco later recorded his life, including his relationships with classmates and his wish to help boys who were left out. He died before turning fifteen. His memory offers an opportunity to talk about friendship, faith and the small acts of care that belong to school life.

His name and life milestones on the reverse

The reverse records his birth near Chieri on 2 April 1842, his death on 9 March 1857 and his canonisation on 12 June 1954. It also includes the 6 May commemoration. These details accompany the portrait and help explain the choice of gift for a celebration or a reminder of a shared time.

Before ordering, you can rotate the composition in the 3D viewer to examine the image and text from different angles.

We print the composition by sublimation. Choose the printed text language in the customiser and check it in the preview. Choose this gift for the name, history or devotion that connects you with its recipient, and accompany it with a few personal words about why you thought of them.
