Extremely Rare Image of the Pope's Office

This rare image was taken at the end of the reign of Pius XII, by his personal physician, Dr. Galeazzi-Lisi. Mons. Jacques-Paul Martin can be seen with Madre Pascalina, covering her face. Today Pope Benedict has his desk on the other side of the room, facing this wall.

  3. It kind of looks like a radio by gran used to have in her home. Quite the "modern" looking thing in those days, too!
