Private burial for Pope Pius X amid mourning in Rome
The body of Pope Pius X, dressed in pontifical regalia, was moved to the chapel of the Blessed Sacrament in St. Peter's for private absolution rites. Thousands paid respects in the throne room as a solemn procession of cardinals, archbishops, bishops, and guards carried the solemn relics. The will reveals 320,000 to family and 2,400 to a nephew, with the pope’s famous line I Wished to Die Poor. The late pope’s brother Angelo mourns deeply, and Rome closes theaters as preparations for the conclave begin amid global conflict.
