This place in Rome, on the Aventine Hill, will be the location of Saturday's delicate vote to elect a new Grand Master of the Order of Malta.

There are only twelve candidates, and they are the knights who made their solemn vows at least ten years ago. ;

The new Grand Master's main mission will be to return serenity to the Order after last December's crisis. ;

The crisis included Pope Francis asking Grand Master Matthew Festing to resign, because he expelled a high ranking official claiming the support of the pope. ;

Their situation is still turbulent, and they will likely elect a Lieutenant who will take care of the Order for a year. Then, when the situation has calmed down, they will be able to choose a new superior with more serenity.
