Pope Francis has chosen the Island of Lampedusa as the destination of the very first apostolic journey of his papacy. During his half-day stay there the Pope laid a wreath in the sea to remember the tens of thousands of migrants who have lost their lives whilst crossing the Mediterranean, he celebrated Mass with the islanders, met with some migrants and visited the local parish. Vatican Radio’s Linda Bordoni spoke to Giulia Cirillo, a graduate student doing research on women and migration. She travelled to Lampedusa twice this year as part of her dissertation research.
