This time, Cardinal Dominique Mamberti from France is expected to make the announcement, although Cardinal Mario Zenari of Italy might be tasked with it if Mamberti himself is elected as the pope. Inside the Apostolic Palace, the process is set in motion with preparations as the new pope will need to formally accept his role. The necessary documentation will be prepared, following the Vatican's rules outlined in a 1996 document.
In addition, there is a ceremonial display of homage from the voting cardinals, followed by the new pope’s first moment of solitude in the Room of Tears, where he will don the traditional papal vestments for the first time, with garments and sizes ready for him. This private chamber, known for its emotional significance, sets the tone before the new pope greets the faithful from the balcony of St. Peter’s Basilica. Overall, citizens and onlookers eagerly anticipate the moment their new leader will be revealed.
