Pope Leo XIV has officially moved into the traditional papal apartment in the Apostolic Palace.

The Vatican confirmed that the Pope formally took possession of the residence on Saturday afternoon, moving into the rooms historically used by his predecessors. The announcement came in a brief notice from the director of the Holy See Press Office, Matteo Bruni, who said: “This afternoon, Pope Leo XIV will take possession of the apartment in the Apostolic Palace, moving, with his closest collaborators, into the spaces previously occupied by his predecessors.”
