First source report
Pope Leo XIV appointed Cardinal Mauro Gambetti as the archbishop of the Archdiocese of Chieti-Vasto. The Vatican announced the appointment on October 3, following the acceptance of the resignation of Archbishop Bruno Forte, 77.
Gambetti, a 60-year-old Conventual Franciscan from Bologna, has served as the archpriest of St. Peter’s Basilica and the pope's vicar for Vatican City since February 2021. In these roles, he managed the daily administration of the basilica, presided over liturgies, and served as president of the Fabric of St. Peter, the office responsible for maintaining the basilica complex. Before this, he served as the general custos of the Sacred Convent of St. Francis of Assisi from 2013 to 2020.
The pope has not yet named a successor to serve as the archpriest of St. Peter’s Basilica. Currently, Bishop Calogero La Piana serves as the vicar of the archpriest to help oversee the basilica.
