Answer: A permanent exhibition dedicated to almost two centuries of papal travel opened recently at the newly enlarged Padiglione delle Carrozze in the Vatican Museums. The exhibition showcases the popes' modes of transport since 1825 and includes the gold leaf-covered Berlina di Gran Gala created in 1826 for Pope Leo XII. The more modern cars such as the white Fiat 1107 Nuova Campagnola 1980 "popemobile" was used by Pope John Paul II when he was shot during an assassination attempt in St Peter's Square in 1981. Today's popemobiles are made by Mercedes-Benz, which created the first electric popemobile in 2011, while the latest addition to the papal fleet is a couple of electric cars by Renault that are used on the grounds of Castel Gandolfo, the pope's summer retreat south of Rome.
