Vatican Radio's Alberto Gasbarri honoured for service

Monday afternoon at the Casa Santa Marta, Dr. Alberto Gasbarri, the administrative director of Vatican Radio and co-ordinator of papal travel, was honoured by Pope Francis with the Medal of the Knight’s Cross of the Pius Order in recognition of his 34 years of loyal service to the Holy See.

During the presentation of the award, the Deputy Secretariat of the State, Monsignor Angelo Becciu, thanked Dr. Gasbarri for his professionalism in a demanding and engaging job, whilst always continuing to serve the Church and the Holy Father. Dr. Gasbarri took the opportunity to thank his family and his colleagues who had become almost a ‘second family’ during the long time they had spent together.
