According to recent Italian media reports, Pope Leo XIV will share the papal apartments with a group of individuals when the pontiff moves in later this year. Days after his election, the pope announced he would live in the Apostolic Palace, thus breaking with the precedent set by Pope Francis, who had rejected the luxurious accommodations there. The 10 rooms of the apartment complex are being extensively renovated for Pope Leo, La Repubblica reported on Tuesday, with three or four individuals set to live alongside him, according to a Daily Telegraph report. The pope’s Peruvian personal secretary, Father Edgard Rimaycuna, may be among those who’ll share the apartments.
