Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni visited Pope Francis on Tuesday afternoon at the Agostino Gemelli Catholic Polyclinic in Rome, where the Pontiff is receiving treatment on the tenth floor.
Following her visit, Meloni expressed relief at the Pope’s condition. “I am pleased to see that he is responsive and communicating. We even joked as usual—he hasn’t lost his legendary sense of humor,” she said.
In an official statement, the Prime Minister conveyed her wishes for Pope Francis’ swift recovery on behalf of the Italian government and the entire nation.
It is recalled that Pope Francis continues to receive medical treatment for double pneumonia at the Agostino Gemelli Catholic Hospital in Rome, where he remains under close observation.
According to a statement from the Vatican press office on Wednesday morning, the Pope’s heart is responding very positively to treatment, and he is now breathing without the need for permanent oxygen support. Additionally, he has been able to get out of bed, signaling a gradual recovery.
