The main subject of the paper is the body of St. Act observed from different points of view that, despite their differences and specificities, interpenetrate and complement each other: the burial methods related to the various funeral monuments, the body over the centuries in the eyes of the observers, its various translations with the relative manipulations and canonical reconnaissance, the Saint’s body as a relic after the canonization of 1605, and the sacredness of everything that has come into contact with the bishop’s remains over time.
