Pope Francis is to open a hostel for the homeless in Rome, just outside the walls of the Vatican.
The facility will be able to accommodate 30 people.
It is Francis’s latest initiative to help those sleeping rough on Rome’s streets.
The gesture follows the provision of a barber and showers near St Peter’s Square.
The hostel, which will start operations after the Italian summer, will only be open at night and will be run by volunteers.
