Rome, March 24, 2025 – Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni expressed her joy on Sunday as Pope Francis returned to the Vatican after spending over a month in Rome’s Gemelli Hospital battling pneumonia.
“Happy to know that Pope Francis is returning to the Vatican,” Meloni stated in a message shared on social media. She accompanied her words with a photo of the pontiff appearing on the hospital balcony earlier in the day.
Glad to hear Pope Francis is returning to the Vatican. Special thoughts and best wishes go to him, with love and gratitude for his tireless efforts and precious guidance.
“A special thought and best wishes go to him, with affection and gratitude for his tireless commitment and his precious guidance,” she added, underscoring the Pope’s enduring influence and dedication to his mission.
The 87-year-old pontiff had been admitted to the hospital in February due to respiratory complications, which led to concerns about his health. His discharge marks a significant recovery, bringing relief to millions of Catholics worldwide.
Pope Francis’ appearance at the Gemelli hospital window this morning was met with applause from onlookers, as he offered a brief blessing and words of encouragement.
His return to the Vatican signals a resumption of his papal duties, with the Holy See expected to gradually reintegrate him into official engagements while ensuring his continued recovery.
