Papa Paolo VI


  His visit was not just to honour his  forgoer Celestine V or to defend Boniface VIII’s decision for the choice in using Fumone as his prison but also for political reasons.

  On his visit he announced his wish to pension Cardinals at the age of 75 and if they were too old to prohibit them from participating in the conclaves to be elected Pope.
