Marco Rubio, the US top diplomat, will be visiting Rome this week. This trip appears to be focused on improving relations between the United States and Italy, as well as with the Holy See.

As the diplomatic landscape evolves, this visit could play a crucial role in addressing the strained ties that have developed in recent times.
