Three acheiropoietos images, venerated in Italy, have characteristics that are inspired by the Holy Shroud preserved in Turin, Italy: the Holy Face of Lucca, the Holy Face of Sansepolcro (Arezzo) and the Holy Saviour of Rome. Those ancient representations of Christ have big eyes, sharp and elongated nose, missing beard under the lower lip, that appears fleshy: just as it is observed on the face of the Holy Shroud. The two crucifixes have also hands with long fingers, again as it is observed on the Holy Shroud. The documented presence in Italy of those works of art since the 8th century (Holy Face of Lucca and Holy Saviour of Rome) and since the 9th-10th centuries (Holy Face of Sansepolcro) confirm the existence of the Holy Shroud already in that time
