Milano, May 9 (LaPresse) – A rare 1970s photograph shows Pope Leo XIV visiting Minitalia, pictured in front of the replica of St. Peter's Square alongside Father Lenzi of Capriate. The photo, shared by the Facebook group of the Sanctuary of Saint Rita in Milan and published by Father Lenzi himself, a friend of Robert Francis Prevost, is a memory of a day spent in Capriate, a few years after the theme park opened. "A significant image, which reflects Pope Leo XIV's close connection with Italy and an unexpected moment in the park's history, now a source of pride and emotion for Leolandia," comment the park representatives.
