Italy on lock-down as Saint Padre Pio 's corpse transferred to Rome

The stigmatic saint is being given higher security measures than a head of state.

A no-fly zone was declared above the Italian city of Foggia and the nearby town of San Giovanni Rotondo where the Saint 's bodily remains have been on display since 2008, La Repubblica reported.
