Vatican, from today the Gemelli on all TVs in the world for the operation on Pope Leo XIV

Television crews from all over the world are flocking to Rome, but in particular from the United States. From today the Pope is hospitalized at the Gemelli Polyclinic, and the cameras that will be stationed in the square in front of the hospital, next to the statue of John Paul II, will be pointed at the window on the tenth floor, where the apartment always reserved for the Pontiff is located. It is certainly a déjà vu effect that can be felt at the polyclinic which for the first time welcomes as an inpatient the first American Pontiff who arrives just a year and a half after the last of Pope Francis. Outside the hospital - writes Ansa - since yesterday there have already been many crews of photographers and anchormen already active since this morning to report on the imminent hospitalization of the 71-year-old Pontiff who, however, at the moment does not present any particular alarm.

You can also feel the discreet presence of the Vatican staff awaiting the arrival of the Pontiff who is manning some reserved access routes while in the Polyclinic there is the usual coming and going of patients who, like every Monday, crowd one of the most important hospital centers in the Capital. Then on the tenth floor, where as mentioned is the apartment reserved for the Pontiffs for hospitalization - a place that immediately became famous in May 1981 when the attack on John Paul II occurred - access is already forbidden even if all in an extremely discreet manner. After all, the Gemelli is immense, and only the affected wing will see changes to the usual routine, which sees thousands of people, including staff and patients, entering and exiting every day.
