Patti Smith had the thrill of a lifetime meeting Pope Leo XIV at the Vatican 🥹
Seemingly overcome with emotion, the legendary singer-songwriter, 79, and the first American pope - both Chicago natives - spent a long time talking during a private audience. 
Rev. Antonio Spadaro, who accompanied Patti, later summed up the moment they met: “When that door opened, something happened… a spark was lit” ✨
