CELANO - Pope's blitz to Celano maybe for a long-promised visit to an old man - Nobody realized the Pope was there / Visita lampo del Papa a Celano - Breve sosta per salutare il padre di un funzionario del Vaticano - Nessuno si è accorto della presenza in città del Santo Padre. Contributed by Dante Cardamone, article by Nino Motta
John Paul II visited Luigino Biocca, father to Egildo, a superintendent in the Vatican. He came by car in the pouring rain, stayed for a few minutes with elderly Luigino Biocca. Nobody knows if the Pope returned to Rome immediately, or toured the area, which he loves so much; in past years he used to ski on the Altopiano delle Rocche and trekked in the Aceretta, near Villavallelonga, where there is a commemorative stone of his 1985 visit.

PESCASSEROLI - Bear escapes from the park for Latium, is put asleep and recovered / L'animale addormentato con proiettili al sonnifero - Orso bruno «evade» dal Parco - Viene recuperato nel Lazio
Maybe tired of the forest quiet a big brown bear left the park and reached the main square of Fontana Liri, province of Frosinone, worriedly eyed by the residents. Police, fire brigade, forest guards arrived and studied a plan. After some hours they found it and put him to sleep with sleeping bullets. Then the bear was carried back to Pescasseroli and set free.
