💨 Abstract

Pope Leo XIV visited Castel Gandolfo, a papal summer palace, amid speculation about its future use. The estate, located south of Rome, has historically served as a summer retreat for popes. Pope Francis previously turned it into a museum and environmental center. Leo’s plans for the palace and his own summer arrangements remain unclear. This visit forms part of a broader examination of the Pope’s patterns and priorities, with potential implications for both his pastoral work and the palace’s historic role.
