Bob Dylan and Pope Leo XIV Exchange Gifts During Vatican Meeting
Bob Dylan met Pope Leo XIV at the Vatican during the singer's Italy tour, exchanging gifts in a brief private meeting. The Pope gave Dylan a rosary, while Dylan presented his autobiography, "Chronicles: Volume One." The encounter followed the Pope's recent citation of Dylan's 1963 unpublished protest song "Go Away You Bomb" in a Vatican book on disarmament. Dylan, a Nobel laureate, has previously performed for Pope John Paul II and is touring Italy with upcoming concerts in Rome, Milan, and Bologna.
