00:00In Rome, suspense is in the air.
00:05On the eve of the conclave, the cardinals have finished their last preparations for the election of the next pope.
00:12Around a dozen cardinals are seen as potential contenders for the papacy,
00:17but nothing is guaranteed when it comes to the final candidate.
00:21In the streets near the Holy See, the faithful, tourists and locals alike,
00:25express their preferences and hopes for their favorite candidates to become the next head of the Catholic Church.
00:32It could be Cardinal Peralin, who is from the province of Vicenza, since we come from Treviso.
00:42What do you like about Peralin?
00:45Well, we like him as a person. He seems like a good candidate.
00:52Yet not every passerby is convinced that there is someone who has what it takes to become the next pope.
01:01Honestly, I would choose no one at the moment.
01:07It's surprising, but there isn't anyone at the moment who shows such strong charisma as Pope Francis or John Paul II.
01:14We'll see.
01:18From Wednesday onwards, the College of Cardinals is set to vote four times a day in order to designate a successor to the late Pope Francis.
01:27The successful candidate will need two-thirds of the votes before being announced by white smoke billowing from the Vatican.
01:34Thank you very much.
