5. SOUNDBITE (Italian) Ranieri Mancinelli, tailor to various popes and owner of religious garments shop:
"I met him more than once. The first thing I remember is that I was very happy, but not because I met the pope. I met a man who was full of smiles, very friendly. My wife and I went together, and he was very, very friendly, with a big smile and funny jokes, just chatting about this and that."
6. Close of picture showing a smiling Pope Francis with Mancinelli and his wife
7. SOUNDBITE (Italian) Ranieri Mancinelli, tailor to various popes and owner of religious garments shop:
"The difference (between him and the other popes) was remarkable because the other popes wanted the fabrics to be a little bit, how can I say, beautiful and refined, a certain type of fabric. Francis, on the other hand, wasn’t too interested in that. In fact, he said, ‘I want things that are very simple, very practical, not expensive,’ and so on."

11. SOUNDBITE (Italian) Ranieri Mancinelli, tailor to various popes and owner of religious garments shop:
"Before the conclave, when he was elected pope—he didn’t know he could be elected pope—he asked me for a new cardinal’s sash so he could present himself with a new, beautiful sash. So I made this sash, told him the prices I charged, and he responded in a very practical and sincere way, saying, ‘Raniero, you’re a bit of a thief, you’re a bit expensive.’ He said that, but he was joking and paid me, so he wasn’t unhappy."
12. Close of St. Peter’s Dome

“Yes, yes, we met once. He called me and invited me and my family. We went after Covid, at the end of 2020, and spent some time with him. It was wonderful, amazing.”

18. SOUNDBITE (Italian) Sebastian Padrón, Pope Francis’ ice cream maker:
“He had been our regular customer for more than seven years. And then my family was always close to him because he always mentioned us, always talked about us, and often sent gifts for my children. So the memory is wonderful, which is why it hurts so much.”
19. Wide of Spiezia optical store
20. Close of sign showing shop name

22. SOUNDBITE (Italian) Luca Spiezia, co-owner of the Spiezia optical store in Rome:
“When he entered the shop, I bowed to greet him and he said, ‘Nice to meet you, Francesco,’ casually shaking my hand. And I said to myself, ‘What do you mean, nice to meet you, Francesco? He’s the Pope!’ That was important to me because he didn’t introduce himself with his title, ‘I’m Pope Francis,’ (but he said) ‘nice to meet you, Francesco,’ like a normal person. And that’s how my adventure with Pope Francis began, on September 3, 2015.”
