These Brazilians, from Nova Russas, came to Rome in celebration of their friends, Allan and Rita Miranda's 25th wedding anniversary, who say that patience and love are essential for a good marriage.
For them the biggest highlight of their trip in Rome was coming to the General Audience on Wednesday to see Pope Francis, causing great excitement.
“I am very happy, very happy.”
It was especially memorable as they managed to get very close to Pope Francis and all receive a blessing.
