In an unexpected visit, Hollywood actor Al Pacino was received by Pope Leo XIV on June 17 at the Vatican, according to photos shared on Instagram by Italian film producer Andrea Iervolino.
Pacino and Iervolino are currently in Italy filming their next movie, which is dedicated to the origins of the iconic Maserati automobile brand. The film, “The Brothers,” which chronicles the vicissitudes of the Maserati brothers, stars the Oscar-winning actor and is produced by Iervolino.
During the private audience with the pontiff, Leo was presented with a miniature model of a Maserati vehicle, a symbol of the Italian design-and-engineering legacy.
The Holy See Press Office has not issued an official statement about the meeting, nor has it confirmed it. Iervolino’s social media post, which is accompanied by a photo of the meeting, shows Pacino and Iervolino smiling next to the pope, who is holding the small replica of the car.
In a press release posted on social media, Iervolino stated: “We are honored to announce that this morning His Holiness Pope Leo XIV received in private audience at the Holy See a delegation from the film Maserati.”
He also stated that the meeting “was a moment of profound spiritual and cultural inspiration, centered on the shared values that are at the heart of both the Catholic Church and the film: family unity, love, compassion, and the importance of contributing to the common good.”
