CASTEL GANDOLFO, Italy (AP) — Pope Leo XIV arrived in the papal summer retreat of Castel Gandolfo on Sunday to start a six-week vacation, giving the hilltop town back its most illustrious resident after Pope Francis stayed away during his 12-year pontificate.
’Good for the whole town’Pope Urban VIII built the papal palace in Castel Gandolfo in 1624 to give popes an escape from Rome.
There is also a tradition of popes using their time at Castel Gandolfo to draft important church documents and encyclicals, and De Angelis said he hopes Leo follows in that tradition.
“We hope Pope Leo produces some text, some encyclical here that has a global reach,” he said.
“And then he can say that it came from Castel Gandolfo, that he was inspired and produced this text from here for the whole world.”
