We see him in the silence of his chapel, immersed in the prayer that guided his every decision. We follow him to the peaks of Gran Sasso, where nature became for him a dialogue with God. We listen to those who knew him closely—secretaries, journalists, friends—describe the Pope who was fearless, even in the darkest moments, and who changed the face of the world with the courage of faith.

These are intense, some untold, stories that speak of humility and strength, of a charisma capable of breaking down walls, literally and spiritually.
