Pope Leo XIV works from his summer residence at Castel Gandolfo

Pope Leo XIV has begun his summer retreat at Castel Gandolfo, continuing his work despite the absence of a papal vicegerent. The Pope will spend three weeks at the summer residence, balancing rest with administrative duties for the global Catholic Church. His predecessors also utilized the estate for governance. The Pope's staff and security will accompany him. While official audiences are suspended, he will receive visitors and continue to manage Vatican affairs, including upcoming travel and meetings.
