Al Pacino has gained many distinctions in his career, but his last meeting with the American Pope has marked an important step when he became the first movie star to meet him.
In a statement published by the producer of the film Andrea Iervolino, “we are honored to announce that this morning, his holiness Pope Leo XIV received in a private audience at the delegation of Holy See A of the film ‘Maserati: The Brothers”, including the winning actor of Oscar Al Pacino and the producer of the film Andrea Iervolin. “”
He continued: “Reunion was a moment of deep spiritual and cultural inspiration, centered on shared values which are at the heart of the Catholic Church and the film: family unity, love, compassion and the importance of contributing to the common good.”
“These values, which Pope Leo XIV has always stressed in his recent messages in the world, resonates deeply with the history of the Maserati brothers: a family whose inheritance was built not only on innovation and excellence, but on deep mutual respect, solidarity and shared vision,” noted the declaration.
Meanwhile, the Italian media reported that Pacino had reached Rome in a private jet on Sunday.
