00:00We opened this gelateria the same day Pope Francis was elected Pope.
00:20The first cake was his name's day cake, picturing Saint George killing the dragon.
00:25His name was George.
00:26He took the name Francis after being elected Pope.
00:29After that, all our cakes had a theme dear to him at a particular moment.
00:33Children, migrants, each time we put these images on the cake, which he really liked,
00:38as it represented somehow his hope in time and his message.
00:47In the past few years, when it became more difficult for him to eat a lot of sweets,
00:51we slowed down the production of sweets for Pope Francis.
00:54He asked us to give them to the dispossessed, those at the bottom, the poorest, those who are around the columns at St. Peter's.
01:01So, we started following his instructions to make not only a small cake to celebrate, but thousands of cakes looking like his,
01:10so that all the poor people around the columns, what they call the shower, which is the Vatican Barbary.
01:15Behind it, you have an extraordinary Cardinal Krajewski, who does an incredible job.
01:20We were sending these small cakes, ordered by the Pope, to celebrate his birthday.
01:24From there, this cooperation with the request for special flavours started.
01:28He used to love mate.
01:30We were having fun putting mate jelly inside the cake.
01:33He was very simple in taste, very austere, but we used to make him some surprises all the time.
01:39Let's pray for you all the time.
01:40Let's pray for you all the time.
