Pope Leo XIV shows off Villanova pride

ROME (WPVI) -- Nova Nation is loving a recent moment when its newly famous alum showed off his Villanova spirit.

It was the moment the newly installed Pope Leo XIV removed his zuchetto and replaced it, though briefly, with a Villanova ball cap.

The man who presented it to him is Joseph Del Raso, a 1974 grad who was at the Vatican with the former Vice Chair of the University's Board of Trustees, and at least one of the Pope's former classmates.
