Veteran Hollywood movie star Al Pacino was the first actor to get to meet the newly elected Pope Leo XIV at the Vatican. He was accompanied by producer Andrea Iervolino.
Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost was elected as the new Pope by cardinals at the papal conclave held last month.
This meeting between the newly elected Pope and the veteran actor was a moment of profound spiritual as well as cultural inspiration.
According to a statement by producer Andrea , the visit was made in cue for a private audience for the delegation from the film Maserati; The Brothers, which stars Al Pacino.
The values that Pope Leo XIV has emphasized in his recent messages draws a parallel with the story of the Maserati brothers. This film will be directed by Bobby Moresco with Al Pacino playing the role of businessman Vincenzo Vaccaro. The film also has Anthony Hopkins, Andy Garcia, Jessica Alba etc and is being filmed in Italy.
