Today, on Easter Monday, Rome woke up with a silent heart. The news of Pope Francis's passing has touched the whole world, leaving a deep void and an immense spiritual legacy.
On a day when many celebrate rebirth, the Eternal City prepares to welcome millions of pilgrims for the 2025 Jubilee, an event now filled with even greater meaning.
Rome, heart of faith and history
Every corner of Rome tells a millennia-old story: the Papal Basilicas, Vatican City, the Holy Doors, as well as its piazzas, sunsets and alleyways filled with art and culture.
During the 2025 Jubilee, the city becomes a global stage where spirituality and beauty meet. Now more than ever, Rome is also the symbolic place to pay tribute to Pope Francis.
