The Pope returns to the Vatican from the Gemelli hospital and will recite the Angelus tomorrow from the Apostolic Palace

Just four days after being hospitalized for surgery on his right lung, Pope Leo leaves the Agostino Gemelli polyclinic. Greeted by the crowd, he left on foot, accompanied by doctors, greeting the faithful and stopping with some of them before getting into the car. The escort with its cars left the hospital complex in the direction of the Vatican.

Arriving at St. Peter's, the Pope crossed the Perugino door to return 'home', his apartment in the Apostolic Palace from which he had left on Tuesday to be admitted to the Gemelli polyclinic.

Tomorrow he will recite the Angelus prayer from the window of the pontifical apartment", the Vatican press office specifies in a note.

"In consideration of the blood tests, the radiological check of the chest carried out this morning and the evaluation of the clinical picture, the Holy Father was judged suitable for discharge", they write in the medical bulletin released by the Vatican signed by Doctor Luigi Carbone and Professor Stefano Margaritora.

Before leaving the hospital, he celebrated mass in the room on the tenth floor of the Gemelli polyclinic which in recent days has been used as a chapel for the Pope's stay.
