How do local artisans take care of the Pope?

For example, the tailor Francis is the third Pope after John Paul II and Benedict XVI.

“True, Francis mixed a little card, because Francis immediately moved to a much gentler, much lighter, simpler and closer style. It was a bit disturbed by us, but then we got used to doing what we need to do, ”said Raniero Mancinelli, a papal tailor and shop owner.

The tailor claims that the Pope has been carrying a cross bought in his store for many years.

« The Vatican was Bishop Kalderon, who was a friend of Francis, now he is dead, and he planned to give him a cross. The bishop came here, bought a cross and gave him in 1992. That cross is still the same today – not the iron as many say, but silver, ”Mancinelli said.

Thus, the first Pope Jesuit really influenced the Vatican's fashions, but as a true Argentine, he did not want to give up the pleasures of his youth, such as the Argentine ice cream, which he ordered from Sebastian Padron ice cream.

“He always chose Dulce de Leche – a typical Argentinean taste, then always lemons and mangoes. Always these three. For eight years, when we opened the store and eight years, when we sell it ice cream, he has always eaten the same for all eight years, ”said Padron, the ice cream manufacturer of Pope Francis.

Like all the pilgrims coming to Rome, the Vatican artisans wish the Pope to recover as soon as possible, because he is famous not only as a Catholic leader in the world, but also as a nice person.

“He called me a phone after Covid and invited me to meet because he had been eating our ice cream for several years, so it was a bit communication. We went with the family and talked to him for a long time. Very pleasant meeting, very friendly, very simple – as if we were neighbors and familiar with a lifetime, ”Padron explained.
