According to the Vatican, he has slept well and is now resting. Officials also reported that he continues to receive oxygen, but there have been no further respiratory issues, and a CT scan revealed normal progress in the inflammation of his lungs.

We come from Sardinia, we are here for something else, but we said let's stop by and that's it."
