Saint Paul Preaching in Athens

As of  August 4th, a new tapestry has been on display in the Hall of the Popes at the Apostolic Palace of Castel Gandolfo.

The “Concert in Honor of the Holy Father Pope Leo XIV” was held on the evening of Saturday, 18 July, in the Courtyard of the Apostolic Palace of Castel Gandolfo, in the presence of the Pope. The event was offered by the Suburbicarian Diocese of Albano as “a gift to the Holy Father, to express our closeness and affection for him through a moment of authentic beauty.”

Pope Leo arrived at the Apostolic Palace of Castel Gandolfo on the afternoon of Sunday, July 5, for the traditional period of respite from Rome’s warmest temperatures. He will remain there until Monday, July 27. Throughout the Sundays of July, the Holy Father will continue to recite the Angelus publicly in the Piazza della Libertà in Castel Gandolfo for the pilgrims gathered there.

The exhibition “El Greco allo specchio: Due dipinti a confronto" El Greco in Reflection: Two Paintings Compared and the display of the renowned tapestry The Conversion of Saint Paul  at the Apostolic Palace museum of Castel Gandolfo have come to a close. The initiative was a collaboration between the Directorate of the Pontifical Villas and the Directorate of Museums and Cultural Heritage.
