Patti Smith, the legendary artist, sat down with Pope Leo the Fourteenth in Rome—describing the encounter as giddy and speechless—and it wasn’t her first Vatican visit. Known for her admiration of Pope Francis’s compassion, Smith shares a close bond with Father Antonio Spadaro, who helped facilitate this meeting. The 40-minute chat felt like a reunion of old friends, touching on music, dreams, and hopes—with both hailing from Chicago. This meeting followed Smith’s performance at the Venice Biennale, which coincided with the anniversary of Leo’s election, and comes after she penned a poem for Pope Francis following his death. Just days prior, the Pope attended a concert by Andrea Bocelli, underscoring his ongoing love for the arts.
