For the organization, will be set up a Committee which will include a representative for each of the institutions involved. And, as soon as each institution will have indicated his charge, the Committee will put’ work ’cause everything is ready for the arrival of Pope Francis. In addition, the Archdiocese of Naples has set up a special logo for the Pope’s visit: the skyline of Naples with Mount Vesuvius, is the background, in fact, the white silhouette representing Bergoglio. A simple image of stylized buildings that recall those of Scampia and the front of the Cathedral. All enclosed in a heart. Also created a Facebook page and a Twitter account.
