US President Barack Obama has requested for an audience with the Pope of Rome. Their meetings will take place during the next G8 summit in Italy in July.

Italian Media is quoting sources in both the Vatican and in the US, that confirms the first meeting between Obama and the Pope is in the pipeline.

No date for the audience has been confirmed. But Italian media speculates, that 10th of July might be the most likely timing. That will be after three days of G8 summit at La Maddalena, not fare from the earth quack effected city of L’Aquila.
