Al Pacino has accumulated numerous accolades throughout his career, but his recent meeting with the American Pope marked a significant milestone as he became the first movie star to meet him.
In a statement released by the film’s producer, Andrea Iervolino, it was announced, “We are honored to announce that this morning His Holiness Pope Leo XIV received in a private audience at the Holy See a delegation from the film ‘Maserati: The Brothers,’ including Oscar winner actor Al Pacino and the film’s producer Andrea Iervolino.”
The statement continued, “The meeting was a moment of profound spiritual and cultural inspiration, centered around shared values that lie at the heart of both the Catholic Church and the film: family unity, love, compassion, and the importance of contributing to the common good.”
“These values, which Pope Leo XIV has consistently emphasized in his recent messages to the world, resonate deeply with the story of the Maserati brothers: a family whose legacy was built not only on innovation and excellence but on profound mutual respect, solidarity, and a shared vision,” the statement noted.
Meanwhile, Italian media reported that Pacino arrived in Rome via private jet on Sunday.
