In the new issue of Oggi, on newsstands from Thursday 3 November, Raoul Bova recounts his meeting with Pope Francis with emotion: “He always speaks out against the war. I wanted to tell him that I'm ready to be a knight of him, that he has my full share. But when you have the Pope in front of you, you are speechless. I asked him for a hug.' – Photo | video

THE RELATIONSHIP WITH FAITH – “I was born into a Catholic family, baptized, communicated and confirmed. I was also a cub, I was a scout. Then the choice of roles I play is never casual. I absolutely wanted the part of Saint Francis (year 2002, ed). It was a moment in which I saw the contradictions of the Church, the scandals. In short, I felt in crisis in the search for my own spirituality... When Pope Francis chose that name, I interpreted it as a sign: I knew that sooner or later we would meet. Yes, in my life I have known priests who have left me traces of their vision, but I have always tried to find mine. I'm a rebel in a good way. Then there is Don Massimo from the 'Don Matteo' series, who offered me another piece for my inner research'.

A CONTINUING RESEARCH – The actor explains: «If a man manages to find that light and that balance within himself, regardless of what religion is, it is an achievement. I haven't done it yet, but I'm working on it.' For Rocìo, his fellow actress always ready to support him, Bova has grateful words: «She plays down everything a bit. Often I go a little deeper into things, I'm introspective. And Rocìo says to me: 'Come on, let it go, don't get angry'». And again: «Since we met, my goodness how many have we been through! She had strength, courage. She has shown me love and sharing ». So why doesn't she decide to marry her?: «Maybe I'll surprise her when she least expects it. I believe in marriage, but above all in love… A union cemented by two daughters is profound, it means getting married in the heart».
