La diplomazia di Francesco nei discorsi al Corpo diplomatico accreditato presso la Santa Sede (2013-2024)

The paper aims to offer some keywords of Pope Francis’ diplomacy by reading the addresses to the Diplomatic Corps accredited to the Holy See. Starting with the first one – 22 March 2013 – the Pope indicated the path he intended to follow: «Fighting poverty, both material and spiritual, building peace and constructing bridges». More than ten years later, could we say that His Holiness’ intentions have been achieved? The paper attempts to answer this question by analyzing the addresses (2013-2024) and proposes some thoughts.
