It\u2019s not every day that a pope decides to spend his vacation in your hometown. However, here at Castel Gandolfo, they\u2019re used to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Many popes have stayed in Castel Gandolfo, although everyone admits that it has been a long time since the last papal visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s very emotional. It\u2019s been many years since one has come here.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n It seems he likes being close to people. I see that he\u2019s visiting many communities.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Some locals, like this artist, say that Pope Leo XIV coming to town has brought joy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s something important because it\u2019s been so long\u2026 Pope Francis didn\u2019t come here much, and now it feels like we\u2019re returning to the old ways, and that\u2019s beautiful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What seems to define the style of the American Pope is a kind of closeness that\u2019s less showy, but deeply genuine. He\u2019s connecting with the local people: celebrating Sunday Mass for them like any parish priest, visiting communities like the Poor Clares, and not missing special occasions\u2014like this encounter with the carabinieri for the 75th anniversary of the proclamation of their patroness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n JRB It\u2019s not every day that a pope decides to spend his vacation in your hometown. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":758,"featured_media":79175,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[],"acf":{"video":"https:\/\/youtu.be\/LdqM0sE__TM","video_descarga":"https:\/\/attuale.romereports.com\/news\/bcastelgandolfoeng.mp4","international_url":"https:\/\/attuale.romereports.com\/news\/bcastelgandolfoint.mp4","type":"bn","newsletter":"si"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/79174"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/758"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=79174"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/79174\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":79178,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/79174\/revisions\/79178"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/79175"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=79174"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=79174"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=79174"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
