The Vatican has confirmed that Pope Leo XIV has moved into the papal apartment in the Apostolic Palace.
Matteo Bruni, director of the Holy See Press Office, announced that the Pope will take possession of the apartment on March 14, returning the papal household to the rooms that served as the centre of governance for generations of pontiffs. The move will also reveal the small circle of clerics who live and work most closely with the new Pope.
Vatican media report that Leo XIV will be accompanied by two private secretaries: Mgr Edgard Iván Rimaycuna Inga, a Peruvian priest who has worked alongside the Pope since his time in Peru, and Fr Marco Billeri, an Italian canon lawyer who was appointed as a second secretary last year.
