HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco continued his engagement in Rome, Italy, on Friday, September 27, following the reception of the prestigious Magna Grecia Prize. The day commenced with a significant event as Prince Albert inaugurated new administrative premises for the Monaco Embassy in Italy. His visit also included participation in a meeting with members of the Italy-Monaco bilateral friendship section at the Italian Parliament, underscoring the deep diplomatic ties between the two nations.

During his stay, Prince Albert paid a visit to the historic Saint-Louis-des-Français church, where he unveiled a commemorative plaque in honor of Prince Louis I of Monaco, a former ambassador of France to the Holy See, who was laid to rest there in 1701.
