Following the conclusion of the voting at last month's papal conclave in the Vatican, Robert Francis Prevost was chosen as the new Pope. Veteran Hollywood actor Al Pacino was seen in recent images posted by producer Andrea Iervolini on his Instagram account Monday, paying a visit to the newly elected pope. It was the first officially recorded official meeting between a film star and the first American pope.

"The meeting provided a thoroughly enlightening spiritual and cultural experience"

Iervolino said in a statement that the delegation from the film Maserati: The Brothers, which stars Al, was there for a private meeting. According to the statement Variety received, "The meeting was a moment of profound spiritual and cultural inspiration, centered around shared values that lie at the heart of both the Catholic Church and the film: family unity, love, compassion and the importance of contributing to the common good."

It further explained, "These values, which Pope Leo XIV has consistently emphasized in his recent messages to the world, resonate deeply with the story of the Maserati brothers: a family whose legacy was built not only on innovation and excellence but on profound mutual respect, solidarity, and a shared vision."

Bobby Moresco will direct the movie, in which Al will play the role of businessman Vincenzo Vaccaro. The movie, which is being filmed in Italy, also features Anthony Hopkins, Andy Garcia, Jessica Alba, Michele Morrone, and Salvatore Esposito.
