President Sergio Mattarella on Monday
sent his well wishes to Pope Francis who returned to the Vatican
Sunday after a five-week battle in hospital against double
pneumonia that became the most serious health crisis of his
12-year papacy.
"We are happy for the return home at the Vatican of the pope, of
Francis, renewing wishes for a full recovery", Mattarella said
at the Village "Agricoltura è" during an event to mark the
anniversary of the signature of the Treaty of Rome.
The 88-year-old Argentine pontiff will now take over two months
to convalesce after a major scare that twice led doctors to fear
for his life.
