Crowds listen to Pope Benedict XVI's Sunday address outside the papal summer residence, Castel Gandolfo, Lazio, Italy

---

Crowds throng the Piazza della Libertà to hear Pope Benedict XVI's traditional Sunday address in Castel Gandolfo, Lazio, Italy. A pretty hill-town perched high above Lake Albano (Lago di Albano) in the Castelli Romani, Castel Gandolfo is just a few miles south of Rome, and has been the summer residence of the Pope for several hundred years.
