The festivities are all about cultural heritage and culminate in a festive service on St. Peter's Square. For the first time, Pope Francis will also take part in the celebrations, even though he is healthy due to bronchitis. On Monday he will have the opportunity to visit the famous film studios Cinecittà - a historic moment, because it is the first time that a Pope enters this place. It is particularly exciting that the main event will take place in good weather on the set of the "Roma Antica" series, such as Vatican News reports .

The planned extensive program sequence not only contains a service, but also an exhibition opening and a congress that deals with the rich cultural and religious legacy.

So Rome becomes the scene of an exceptional connection between faith and art, which takes numerous creative minds on an inspiring journey.
