Pope Leo XIV received Bob Dylan at the Apostolic Palace on Wednesday, during the Rome leg of the singer's Rough and Rowdy Ways tour. The two Midwest-born Americans exchanged gifts, with Leo handing over a rosary and Dylan, 85, offering his memoir Chronicles: Volume One. The Pope has previously quoted from an unreleased Dylan anti-nuclear song. Dylan performs at Rome's Palazzo dello Sport on Thursday.
