Pope Francis, Gualtieri: "With today in the Basilica over 170 thousand presences"

Rome, April 25 (LaPresse) – "Today there was a very significant influx to St. Peter's. I believe that overall there will be more than 170,000 people. It was a non-stop influx, at maximum capacity. We expect it to continue in the coming days at Santa Maria Maggiore, which will be open from Sunday to allow people to pay homage. Tomorrow will be a very intense day, in parallel there is also the Jubilee of Adolescents. For the occasion we have also set up some tents in Centocelle". Thus the mayor of Rome, Roberto Gualtieri, at the end of the committee for order and security that was held this afternoon at the Prefecture in Rome.
