The First Book on the New Pope!

After the Salani bestseller on Pope Francis, which introduced Bergoglio to Italian readers in 2013, this new instant book tells everything you need to know about Pope Leo XIV.

Just days after the white smoke of the Conclave, this is the first comprehensive portrait of the man called to carry on Bergoglio’s legacy.

Written by one of the most prominent Vatican journalists, Saverio Gaeta has worked for the most important newspapers and magazines and he wrote many books on religious matters.  Among them  the one in collaboration with Father Georg on Pope Ratzinger and The seers. This new book allows us to discover the new pontiff through his own words and a detailed reconstruction of his life and the milestones of a long journey.

On May 8th, the traditional Latin formula “Annuntio vobis gaudium magnum” was proclaimed—followed by the first applause from the crowd in St. Peter’s Square after the white smoke rose from the Sistine Chapel chimney and the joyful ringing of bells—with the historic words “Habemus Papam.” Shortly after, Pope Leo XIV appeared to the world, dressed in papal vestments, and greeted the faithful.
