IIt was a pleasure to host Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson at The American University of Rome for a lively discussion on contemporary political and social issues. The visit followed an audience with Pope Leo XIV and included a press briefing with Chicago media and an aperitivo on our famed terrace overlooking Rome. Here are Adrienne Tongate's: pictures and comments on the visit: See the images here: https://lnkd.in/d6WKNY8F Excerpts here: "Meeting His Holiness Pope Leo XIV was deeply moving. He was extraordinarily kind and generous with his time, giving every delegate an opportunity to meet him personally...." "Mayor Johnson also had the opportunity to meet with students studying peace studies and international law at The American University of Rome. Thank you to President Scott Sprenger for hosting such a meaningful conversation (and for the rooftop views, complete with a rainbow over the Eternal City)." "It was a truly meaningful and life-changing week, and I am proud to have played a part in it."
