«The night passed peacefully, the Pope got up and had breakfast in an armchair» .

This is what the Holy See Press Office reports, which provides daily updates on the conditions of Pope Francis, who has been hospitalized at Gemelli since February 14 for bronchitis which later degenerated into bilateral pneumonia .

Bergoglio, the Holy See also informs, " continues his treatment and also his work activity ", that is, " reading and signing documents, telephone conversations or with close collaborators ". At the moment the Pontiff's conditions remain "stationary".

The conditions of the Pope, who yesterday received a visit from Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni , therefore seem to be improving.

" I am very happy to have found him alert and responsive. We joked as always. He has not lost his proverbial sense of humor ," said Meloni who, explains a note from Palazzo Chigi, "went to the Policlinico Gemelli to visit the Holy Father and on that occasion expressed her wishes for a speedy recovery, on behalf of the Government and the entire Nation."

Last night's medical bulletin highlighted a "slight improvement" in inflammatory indices detected by blood tests . A new bulletin with medical updates will be released late this afternoon.
