WATCH: Huge eruption at Mount Etna sends crowds running
CATANIA, Italy (WJW) – Tourists on an expedition near Mount Etna were filmed running for safety after a massive ash plume erupted from the volcano on Monday. Dramatic video captured by Aurelien Pouzin shows a group scrambling away from the summit as thick, dark ash billows into the sky over Sicily's eastern coast. Italian media outlet Corriere Della Sera reported that aviation authorities issued a red alert for air traffic following the eruption, warning of potential flight disruptions due to ash in the atmosphere. Italy's National Institute of Geophysics and Vulcanology, of INGVvulcani, said Monday that a 'fountain' of lava had also begun to flow from the volcano's southeast crater, though it hadn't breached a basin-like feature known as the Valley of the Leo. The Volcanic Ash Advisory Center of Toulouse, which monitors eruptions in the area, said activity was already 'decreasing' as of Monday afternoon local time. No injuries were reported, but officials advised caution in the surrounding areas.

Convicted killer falls to death from Milan's famed Duomo cathedral after allegedly stabbing man, reports say
A convicted murderer permitted to work outside prison threw himself from Milan's famed Duomo cathedral on Sunday, killing himself, after allegedly stabbing a colleague, local news reports said. ANSA news agency and other outlets reported said the Italian man, whom they identified as Emanuele De Maria, 35, fell "dozens of meters" after reportedly throwing himself from the Gothic cathedral into the square below. The area surrounding the Duomo, Milan's most famed landmark, is usually teeming with people but news reports did not cite any injuries among passersby. Television images showed police blocking off the area surrounding one of the sides of the cathedral. Authorities identified De Maria — who went on television last year to describe his life — from an ID in his pocket and his tattoos, according to several reports, including Milan's Corriere della Sera daily. One witness, a bar owner named Emanuele Sanità, told the outlet that De Maria landed right next to a boy who was holding a stuffed animal. "He fell next to him. He was in shock. He sat there for twenty minutes without speaking," Sanità said. De Maria had been serving a 14-year sentence after being convicted for the 2016 murder of a woman, according to reports. He was arrested in Germany in 2018 after hiding as a fugitive in the Netherlands, Milano Today reported. But for nearly two years he had been working part-time at a hotel near Milan's central train station. Police had been searching for him since Friday, when he allegedly stabbed a work colleague. The condition of that man, identified as a 50-year-old Italian-Egyptian, was improving Sunday after emergency surgery on his neck and chest, Milano Today reported.

Pope Leo XIV Celebrates Debut Mass as Italian Media Trumpet First American Pontiff and Ponder Paolo Sorrentino's ‘Young Pope' Prophecy
Pope Leo XIV celebrated his first mass on Friday in the Sistine Chapel with the cardinals who elected him, as Italian media trumpeted the historic significance of Chicago-born missionary Robert Prevost becoming the first North American pontiff. 'The American Pope: Peace' was the headline in daily Corriere Della Sera, while La Repubblica simply went with 'The American Pope.' Both newspapers dedicated roughly half their pages to papal coverage and noted that when the 69-year-old Prevost emerged on St. Peter's balcony on Thursday, he wore a traditional burgundy stole with gold embroidery draped over his shoulders. This is in contrast to Francis, his predecessor, who opted for all-white vestments upon his election in 2013. More from Variety 'Parthenope' Cinematographer on Twisting a Tragic Greek Myth Into 'Celebration of Life' Through Collaboration With Paolo Sorrentino Mubi Buys Paolo Sorrentino's New Movie 'La Grazia,' Starring Toni Servillo, for Worldwide Rights Outside of Italy (EXCLUSIVE) How Saint Laurent Recreated an Iconic 1966 Tuxedo Jacket for Paolo Sorrentino's 'Parthenope' Corriere della Sera, in a front-page editorial titled 'The Mild Pope,' stated that Leo XIV is 'decidedly less pop' than Francis, in form. But it noted he could instead become so 'in substance' going forward. Italian media also underlined that Pope Leo XIV, who is younger than his past two predecessors when they became pontiffs, loves to play tennis, swim in Lake Michigan, and – at least by one account – has a taste for fried chicken. Italian newspapers are also calling Italian director Paolo Sorrentino prophetic. In his 2016 Sky/HBO TV series 'The Young Pope,' Sorrentino imagined the election of the first American pontiff, 47-year-old Lenny Belardo, played by Jude Law, a conservative who took the name Pius XIII and smoked, played pool and drank Cherry Coke Zero for breakfast. La Repubblica quoted the Oscar-winning director as pointing out during a 2016 Venice press conference that the Pope depicted in his show was diametrically different from Francis. The paper also quotes him as saying that 'this does not mean that a Pontiff like this cannot happen in the near future.' 'It is illusory to think that the Church has taken a path towards progressivism,' La Repubblica quoted Sorrentino as saying at the time. 'Indeed, it is likely that after this pope another one will come one of the opposite sign.' 'Regarding this prophecy we still suspend judgment to see what Pope Leo XIV will really be like,' La Repubblica said. Prevost, who has spent most of his career as a missionary in Peru and became a cardinal in 2023, is generally considered a progressive who is expected to give continuity to Francis' vision of greater reform within the Vatican. Francis brought him to Rome in 2023 to head a Vatican office in charge of choosing which priests should serve as Catholic bishops. Since arriving in Rome, Prevost presided over one of Francis' most groundbreaking reforms when he added three women to the voting committee that decides which, obviously male, bishop nominations should be forwarded to the pope. However, according to The New York Times, Prevost has expressed less welcoming views on LGBTQ+ people than Francis. In a 2012 address to bishops, he lamented that Western news media and popular culture fostered 'sympathy for beliefs and practices that are at odds with the gospel,' the Times said. As examples, Prevost at the time cited the 'homosexual lifestyle' and 'alternative families comprised of same-sex partners and their adopted children.'

Robert Francis Prevost makes history as the newly elected Pope
Robert Francis Prevost has been elected as the new Pope. The 69-year-old cardinal was officially chosen as the next leader of the Catholic church on Thursday (08.05.25) when white smoke emerged from the Sistine Chapel at just after 5pm, and made history in the process as the first American to be elected into the position. Senior cardinal Dominique Mamberti announced the news on St Peter's balcony in Vatican City as he proclaimed: "Habemus papam", which is a Latin term meaning "We have a pope". The Chicago native will be known as Leo XIV and made his first public address from the balcony as he told the crowds that his predecessor Pope Francis - who died in April at the age of 88 - was "courageous and blessed Rome". He said: "The pope that blessed Rome gave his blessing to the whole world on that Easter morning. "Let us follow up that blessing. God loves us and God loves all of you. "Sin will not prevail, we are all in the hands of God." In order to choose the new Pope, 133 pontiffs gathered at the Sistine Chapel in Rome to begin the conclave and was sworn to an oath of secrecy. After winning a two-thirds majority, the new pope was asked to accept the papacy and to choose a new name. Pope Francis died after suffering a stroke and heart failure. Sergio Alfieri, his chief surgeon, then revealed that he failed to respond to any stimuli from medical staff as he lay in a coma with his eyes open before his death. He told Italian outlet Corriere Della Sera: 'On Monday at about 5:30 Massimiliano Strappetti [the pope's private nurse] called me [saying]: 'The Holy Father is very ill, we must return to Gemelli [hospital]'. 'I pre-alerted everyone and 20 later I was there in Santa Marta. 'I entered his room and his eyes were open. I noticed that he had no breathing problems and then I tried to call him but he didn't answer. 'He didn't respond to stimuli, not even painful ones. At that moment I understood that there was nothing more to be done. He was in a coma. 'Strappetti knew that the Pope wanted to die at home, when we were at the Gemelli he always said so. 'He passed away shortly after. 'I remained there with Massimiliano, Andrea, the other nurses and the secretaries; then they all arrived and Cardinal Parolin asked us to pray and we recited the rosary with him. I felt privileged and now I can say that I was. 'That morning I gave him a caress as a last farewell.' His funeral took place on 27 April and was attended by the likes of Prince William and Donald Trump as well as 250,000 other mourners.
