Conclave, l’attesa e la fumata bianca: Piazza San Pietro nel giorno di Papa Leone XIV

After Pope Francis’s death, the cardinals gathered in conclave, an event that once again captured the world’s attention. The mystery behind those closing doors drew tens of thousands who wanted to witness in person the moment the white smoke would proclaim the new pope. I was in Piazza San Pietro the very first day - you can read about it here - as well as the second day, when finally the white smoke came out from the chimney and Pope Leo XIV presented himself at the world. You can also read it on Leggo.
