July 14, 2012. (Romereports.com) The Vatican is the first place
that comes to mind, when people think about where the Pope
lives. But centuries ago, Popes also lived here: In Rome's
Castel Sant'Angelo . It was used as a fortress, castle and even
a prison. Now, it's a museum. Through the summer, unique items
like these that once belonged to Popes and the Church, are on
display for the world to see. They include everything from Papal
vestments to statues and priceless works of art. The exhibit
titled “I Papi della Memoria” includes hundreds of historical
documents and art pieces that were gathered from the Vatican and
museums from all over Italy. The exhibit, which highlights the
impact many Popes have had both in the Church and the world, is
divided into different themes. They include Pope Boniface VIII
who led the Church from 1294 to 1303. It was during that time
that he started the first Christian Jubilee. Also included is
Pius XII, who led the Church during the Second World War. Some
