Pope Francis has made an Ital-
ian lawyer the first woman to

hold a management position

in the Vatican’s most impor-
tant office.

Francesca Di Giovanni, 66, will

serve as undersecretary for multilat-
eral affairs in the Secretariat of State.

She will be responsible for co-ordi-
nating the Holy See’s relations with

groups including the UN.
Pope Francis has been vocal in his
support for women holding greater
positions of authority in the Vatican.

priests?

“I hope that my being a woman
might reflect itself positively in this

task, even if they are gifts that I cer-
tainly find in my male colleagues as

well,” she told Vatican media.
Ms Di Giovanni has worked for the
Vatican for 27 years and holds a law
degree.

She has specialised in areas includ-
ing migration and refugees, the status

of women, intellectual property and
tourism.
“The Holy Father has made an
unprecedented decision, certainly,
which, beyond myself personally,

represents an indication of an atten-
tion towards women,” she said.

“But the responsibility is connected
to the job, rather than to the fact of

Francesca Di Giovanni being a woman.”
