Speaking in Italian, Metsola recounted her cherished memories of meeting the pontiff, saying that together they spoke about peace and hope.

Her presence underscores the significance of the occasion on both a spiritual and political level, as global leaders prepare to pay their final respects.

Interviewed by the director Antonio Preziosi, Metsola said, “I join millions around the world in mourning the passing of His Holiness Pope Francis. I had the privilege and honour of meeting Pope Francis last October. A conversation that will stay in my heart, always. We spoke about the need to keep humanity at the heart of everything we do.”

“I will never forget his contagious smile that touched the hearts of whoever met him. The People’s Pope was more than a spiritual leader. He was a global voice for those who are often forgotten and for justice.”
