Pope Visits San Marino, Before Addressing Italian Political Gathering

The pope will address the annual Rimini Meeting after a prayer service in San Marino, where the event draws hundreds of thousands each summer.

  • On Saturday, Pope Leo XIV visited San Marino, the world's oldest republic, to address the local ecclesial community and highlight the legacy of founders Saints Marinus and Leo.
  • The pontiff spent the morning in the Apennine Mountains enclave of 33,000 people, continuing brief pastoral visits across Italy this summer including stops in Pavia, Assisi, and Lampedusa.
  • Before his address, Leo visited an exhibition dedicated to Saint Augustine, the fifth-century theologian who founded the 13th-century Augustinian order to which he belongs.
  • Following the San Marino visit, the head of the Catholic Church travels to Rimini this weekend for the annual Rimini Meeting, the first papal appearance since 1982.
  • Speakers include Latin Patriarch Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani, and Transport Minister Matteo Salvini, as the pontiff insists the Gospel is the "path of freedom.
