This is CBS I in the world. I'm John Batchtcher from the Wall Street Journal.

Robert Prevost, the cardinal who emerged on the Vatican balcony as Pope Leo the 14th,

lived and worked in Peru as a missionary and parish priest, so long he eventually obtained dual citizenship.

More recently, Provost, 69 years old, has served the Vatican as a close

aid to the Pope Francis. I welcome Lorenzo Fiore, who is in Italy, to help us understand how

the new Pope was greeted. Once the white smoke went up, Lorenzo tells me about 7 p.m. local time in Rome.

Lorenzo, the American media is emphasizing an American pope. We've never had one, so we

emphasize American pope. However, you tell me, Prevost is a family name that is both Italian and French,

and that his grandfather came from the Piedmont Laguria. Where is that? What does Piedmont

Laguria look like? Good evening to you. Good evening, John, good evening,

and good evening to the radio listener from a very green siena beautiful beautiful time and beautiful landscape

let me tell you that just a few minutes before we started the interview i just read a news

on my mobile that is saying that the new pop has also some Italian origin from Piemont,

north-west of Italy and Liguria, the two regions close each other.

As far as I understood reading this news that one of his grand-grandfather was from San

Reno, San Remo, which is the latest town before the French border, and he moved

to Piedmont, then from Piedmont, he immigrate into U.S. So he has a mix of origin of very much

French, Italian, and Spanish.

Prevost, by the way, is a family name that is also known as a family name, not very common here in Italy.

So we are very happy that there is the first American pope, but still a pope that have some, how can I say, legacy

with the Italian peninsula.

The Poplio celebrated the Mass and St. Peter's Square, which was filled with very happy people, but it's important what language he celebrated the mass in.
