Pope Leo XIV hosted American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan at his official residence, the Apostolic Palace, during the singer's Italian tour on Wednesday. The 85-year-old Dylan wore a predominantly black outfit, in stark contrast to the Pope's white vestments. The meeting, described as brief by Vatican News, took place prior to Dylan's scheduled performance at the Palazzo dello Sport on Thursday.
Dylan gifted the Pope a copy of his autobiography, Chronicles: Volume One, while the Pope presented him with a rosary. This was the second time Dylan had met a Pope; in 1997, he performed for Pope John Paul II and around 300,000 young people in Bologna.
