�[EXTERNAL] VP pool report #3 4/19: VP + family touring Sistene Chapel

At 11:22 am., a spokesperson for the vice president, shared that Vance’s meeting with the cardinal and archbishop has concluded, and Vatican officials have brought the second family to see the Sistine Chapel.

The pool is still holding. While pool was originally told we could not wait inside Vatican City, we were ultimately moved into a section of Saint Peter’s Square currently blocked off to the public.�

For those interested in the scene here (a more scenic than average pool hold location), we’re waiting along the left colonnade, next to a lovely fountain that indicates it is affiliated with Pope Paul VI, as well as a sculpture depicting huddled migrants�that was installed in Saint Peter’s Square in 2019. Tourists are coming and going from the basilica as additional equipment is being set up outside, presumably for tomorrow’s Easter mass.
