With no financial resources to go to Rome throughout Francisco’s papacy, Pontiff’s nephew Mauro Bergoglio managed to travel to Rome to give his last goodbye to his uncle Pontiff after donations.
Nurse in Argentina, the Pope’s nephew won the passages of the owner of a travel agency who listened to an interview to the Argentine A24 channel, last Tuesday (22), in which he said that his family had not had financial resources to travel to the Vatican since the uncle’s starting in 2013.
“We can’t. I see, trying to travel,” said Francis’ nephew in an interview with the channel when asked if he would go to the Pope’s funeral.
He was the presenter of the news program, Luis Novaresio, who announced, in the air, that a travel agent donated the plane pass for the Pope’s nephew to be to Rome.
Arrived in Italy on Wednesday (23), Mauro Bergoglio said in an interview with Radio Miter that faces “the same situation [financeira] that all Argentines ”.

In addition to the offer of the travel agent, he also received donations by bank transfer so that he could make the trip.
He said he never asked for help, but after offers, he shared his bank details to receive transfers for feeling that he was “the last opportunity” to say goodbye to his uncle.
“In fact, in 12 years, I never came,” he emphasized.
Travel agency owner Rita Mattiello, in turn, said she donated the passages to the Pope’s nephew for generosity, but ended up feeling the action “as a affection for the Holy Father.”
