Vatican
City, 23 February 2013
(VIS) – This morning at 11:30am, the Holy Father received the
president of the Italian Republic, Giorgio Napolitano accompanied by
his wife, in a farewell audience. The meeting was particularly warm
and cordial, given the mutual respect and familiarity of the two
eminent men.
President
Napolitano expressed, not only the gratitude of the Italian people
for his closeness in so many crucial moments and for his elevated
religious and moral teaching, but also their affection, which will
continue to accompany him in the coming years.
The
Pope, for his part, again expressed his gratitude to the president
and his wife for their friendship and best wishes for the good of
Italy, particularly in these days and at this moment of demanding
decisions.
