Election of a new Pope celebrates with procession and rites
Naples reports the Papal conclave leading to Clement XII's election. Crowds filled St Peter's Square as he was crowned, blessed the people, and a fireworks display followed at Castle St Angelo. In Rome the new Pope ordered measures for his government and received dignitaries. Abroad, Augsburg and other cities note arrivals, ceremonies, and urban life observations.
