Back to the apostolic palace. Pope Leo, after the 12 years in which his predecessor had preferred to live in Santa Marta, returns to the spaces of the habitual residence of the Popes. He does so, after having completed the work, occupying a part of the Third Loggia of the Apostolic Palace where the study from which he looks out on Sundays for the Angelus and the Regina Coeli, the library, the personal chapel, the bedroom, the dining room and some rooms intended for his closest collaborators are located. An internal staircase then leads to the terrace, where you can walk, and to the habitable attic created in the so-called ceilings. Some secretaries of the Popes lived here in the past, including that of Benedict XVI, Monsignor Georg Gaenswein. In the brief press release from the Press Office it was not specified whether the Pope’s bedroom is on the same floor as the study or in the upper part. According to rumours, however, it would have been obtained from the apartments a small gym. With Pope Leo, who until now has continued to live in his apartment at the Holy Office, his secretaries, Don Edgar Rimacycuna and Don Marco Billeri, also moved. It is not yet known whether Augustinian brothers or some nuns will also live with the Pontiff as happened with both Benedict XVI and John Paul II.
