Fabrizio Amoriello's interview, Founder – Votivo S.r.l.s.

Can you briefly introduce us your company and your production?
Votivo is an Italian company specialized in the design and production of electric votive candle stands, candle stands with integrated electronic POS payment, and offering boxes, solutions conceived for churches and places of worship that wish to combine tradition, safety, and innovation. For years, we have been supporting parishes, shrines, and dioceses in Italy and abroad, offering reliable products with refined design, developed to improve both the experience of the faithful and the day-to-day management of ecclesiastical facilities. Alongside traditional systems, Votivo develops digital and integrated solutions, in full respect of liturgy and spirituality.

How do you assess the current situation and future prospects of the Italian market for religious articles?
The religious articles market is going through a phase of evolution, in which tradition is increasingly accompanied by a growing demand for practical and digital tools, especially for the management of donations. The introduction of electronic payments within churches now represents a concrete necessity. The outlook is positive for organizations capable of offering solutions that respect the religious context and are truly useful for parishes.

The fifth edition of Devotio is approaching. What do you expect from this fair?
Devotio represents for us a fundamental opportunity for meeting and dialogue with parish priests, industry professionals, and ecclesiastical organizations from all over Italy and abroad. We expect a trade fair increasingly oriented toward innovation applied to the religious world, capable of enhancing companies that invest in concrete solutions for the present and future of parishes.

Will you be presenting anything new at “Devotio 2026”? What might that be?
At Devotio 2026 we will present important innovations, in particular: - Electric votive candle stands with integrated POS, allowing activation through electronic payment in a simple and secure way; - New digital donation collection systems, including offering baskets equipped with payment terminals; - Fidelya – The Digital Parish, an innovative app that connects the faithful and parishes, enabling communication, donations, event management, and parish services within a single digital ecosystem.
