In a recent hospital visit, PM Giorgia Meloni reported that the 88-year-old Pope Francis is alert and maintaining his sense of humor despite being treated for pneumonia in both lungs. Admitted to Rome’s Gemelli Hospital on Friday for a respiratory infection, the Pope's condition was described as serious yet stable. Meloni expressed her happiness after seeing him responsive and engaging in light-hearted banter, a characteristic trait of the pontiff. The Vatican indicated that, while recent medical examinations revealed a "complex picture," the Pope managed to have breakfast and could still move around his hospital room. However, he has canceled upcoming engagements including a papal audience and a mass. In support, many well-wishers have gathered outside the hospital, showing their solidarity with prayers and messages of encouragement.
