Your meetings with Pope Francis?
"After FUOCOAMMARE he asked me to meet him once - he says - and then I went to Malta to greet him, but I must say that what strikes me most, besides his words, are his silences".
Is Francis one Pope alone?
"Yes, you understand immediately, and then he is also full of courage: I saw him driving around in his car without any protection without showing any fear".
