commander in 2018. Over the years, he has established a relationship of trust
with the various special Secretariats of the Holy Father, the Supreme
Authorities of the Governorate and the Secretariat of State, where competence

He has accompanied the Supreme Pontiff on numerous apostolic
journeys and pastoral visits in Italy and throughout the world. He also
