The Man Who Planned to Kill the Pope—Then Saw the Virgin Mary | Tre Fontane, Rome

Rome, April 12th, 1947. Bruno Cornacchiola—communist, protestant, would-be assassin of Pope Pius XII—arrives at Tre Fontane to write a speech against the Catholic Church, especially the Virgin Mary.

What he encounters instead will change his life—and the lives of thousands—forever.

He finds his children kneeling in awe, repeating: “Beautiful Lady… Beautiful Lady.”
What followed was an apparition of the Virgin Mary that turned a man bent on destruction into one of the fiercest defenders of the Church.

Discover the incredible story of Bruno’s conversion, the miraculous grotto at Tre Fontane, and the growing legacy of this hidden shrine in the heart of Rome.
