First floor: The Pontificate
Third room: International travel
The rooms showcase some documents from the Holy Land trip, including a handwritten note by Pope Paul VI during his pilgrimage to the Holy Land (January 4-6, 1964). In the second row, there’s the travel document for the trip to India (December 2-5, 1964); the Alitalia airline ticket for the flight to the United States (October 4, 1965); a postcard written to his brother Francesco during the trip to Uganda (July 31 – August 2, 1969).
We find a “Kriss” (a wavy short dagger) that wounded Paul VI during the assassination attempt in Manila, Philippines, on November 27, 1970. The attack was carried out by Benjamin Mendoza, a Bolivian surrealist painter disguised as a priest holding a crucifix.
