00:00We came to the Fiumicino Displacement Center at the gates of Rome to see how the journey of the correspondence that arrives to Pope Francis begins.
00:10We are with the director of the Fiumicino Displacement Center in Rome.
00:14Let's talk about numbers, which certainly have their weight in such an important center.
00:17Yes, we are talking about 950 resources that run on a center that works H24.
00:23We mix daily 2 million small objects, 15,000 kg of voluminous format and about 250,000 registered objects.
00:32We have specific works that have no other establishments, such as the work of the Vatican.
00:38And even on this type of work we have noticed an increase in volume in recent weeks.
00:44We generally work around a hundred kilos and lately we have also detected peaks of 150 kilos a day.
00:53We are on board the CFSM, which is a machine that deals mainly with the sorting of the registered mail.
01:01So registered mail for destinations and in particular, as you can see, we have a dedicated exit for the Vatican City.
01:10Once the dispatch is full, it is practically unloaded, put on the box on this conveyor belt
01:19and then brought to the lock, so that it can pass on the specific station for the processing of the Vatican.
01:30We are in front of the station dedicated to the processing of the Vatican product.
01:36Let's say that here comes the processed product of all the production units of the plant.
01:42An application called IPS is installed on this station, which is essentially the task of recording the weight of each single column
01:52and recording the barcodes reported on the registered mail dispatches.
01:57After that, accompanying distincts are printed, the dispatches are connected to these distincts and the product leaves for our destination.
02:12We are at the distribution center of Roma Belsito in the northern quadrant of the capital, which also covers the area of the Gemelli polyclinic.
02:20Let's go together to find out how the sorting of the mail works. They opened the doors to us exceptionally at the end of the shift.
02:30Can you tell us how the sorting of the mail happens?
02:34Yes, we have a first phase where the product arrives. The product is sorted and traced.
02:40We are talking about the Gemelli, a very large structure, and it is placed inside the dedicated boxes as a large client.
02:48Inside this correspondence, which has important volumes, we are also finding the direct correspondence to the Holy Father.
02:56There is also a more human development of the correspondence. What emotion do you feel when you find a letter addressed to Pope Francis?
03:05Surely it is not an everyday thing, so it is a particular emotion, also due to the fact that the letters that arrive come from all over the world.
03:17They represent this closeness to our Holy Father in this difficult and delicate moment of his life.
03:27We are at the end of the shift, so now the box is empty. Here we see the writing Gemelli, but tomorrow morning?
03:34Tomorrow morning, as every morning, it will be full of correspondence with the letters addressed to the Holy Father.
