The Vatican’s new portal is perfectly in line with today’s digital environment. An eye-catching feature is its menu, which is set up in an agile and functional way. The choices displayed on a red band are confined to four pivotal words: Pope, Vatican, Church, World. The terms themselves immediately convey the idea of a Church on the move, reaching out from the Vatican to the peripheries through a presentation of the Pope and his activities.
The portal’s multimedia content (texts, audio, video), which range from Vatican press releases to the contributions of the radio sector and the audiovisual production center (in particular, the Pope’s Angelus messages), also rotate around the Pontiff’s activities. The body of the new site is replete with images that enrich the content and a good amount of space is reserved for social media, especially the Pope’s Twitter and Instagram accounts.
