It showed a watery funeral
procession and the melodrama
tic caption under it read: “Gon
dola of Death.” The scene was
unmistakably Venice and the
subject was the late Patriarch
Carlo Agostini.
The Patriarch and Archbish
op Roncalli had both been nam
ed a few weeks before by Pope
Pius XII as members of the
College of Cardinals. Angelo
Roncalli cut out the picture and
slipped it into his breviary as a
reminder to pray for the former
Patriarch. He did not realize
that he would be praying for
his predecessor.

inal’s biretta from French Pres
ident Vincent Auriol, Cardinal
Roncalli was named Patriarch
of Venice.
The assignment was a wel
come one. He had already spok
en sadly of the prospect of re
turning to Rome to end his days
amid the paper work of. the
Roman Congregation. Instead,
it was ordained that he should
at last have the opportunity to
be a pastor of souls in the full
sense of the word.
The new Patriarch on March
15, 1953, took possession of his
see. Almost every launch and
gondola of the city turned out
to meet him and accompany
him through the watery ave
nues in a floating procession.
To the peal of the city’s bells
and the chant of Patriarchal
clergy, the 71-year-old Cardi
nal entered the Basilica of St.
Mark’s, the so-called “golden
basilica” which would be the
seat of his reign as the 43rd
Patriarch and the 139th Bishop
of Venice.
In a moving speech from the
pulpit, Cardinal Roncalli told
the assembled bishops and
faithful of his early life, of his
trust in God and said to them:
“In beholding your Patri
arch, seek the priest, the min
ister of grace and nothing else,
because he wishes to express in
his ministry this vocation given
to him by God.”
During this sermon Cardinal
Roncalli was interrupted by re
peated outbursts of applause.
He chided the congregation, re
calling to them that Pope Pius
X did not like applause, and
that on the day of his corona
tion the saint announced that
he did not want it.
Five years later Cardinal
Roncalli, during his own coro-

nation as Pope John XXIII, was
to silence the cheering of the
faithful in St. Peter’s Basilica
when they shouted during the
ceremonial burning of the flax.
Pio Pietragrioli, editor of the
diocesan newspaper of Venice,
later recalled the festivities of
the day of the Patriarch’s arri
val. He said that toward the
end of the evening, when the
thousands of well-wishers had
drifted away to their homes,
there remained only himself
and a few others.
The new Patriarch turned to
Pietragnoli, who was then a
stranger to him, and said:
“Well, the bride is married
off and the guests of the party
have all gone away. Here I am
with a big beautiful palace and
I do not know how to find my
way around it. Would you lead
the way for me please?”
PEACEFUL CHANGE
The life that Cardinal Ron
calli was to live during his five
years in Venice would be that
of a man putting everything in
order. Like the city itself, he
had known greater days when
matters of international conse
quence were the daily routine.
Venice, once the ruler of the
East whom the Sultans feared,
in the 20th century had reaped
the rewards of a splendid age.
Its past glories and triumphs,
its ageless beauty and unique
place in history and geography
drew the world to its hundred
islands.
Like Venice, Cardinal Ron
calli had known East and West.
A man thoroughly imbued with
the civilization of the West.
Roncalli had spent 20 years of
his life in countries which were
completely under the spell of
Eastern Christianity and which
had been once its principal
source.
His arrival in the City of the
Canals was a dignified and rel
atively peaceful change from
his former assignments. There
was every reason to expect that
it would be the final chapter to
a long and distinguished career.
Among his first acts as Patri
arch, Cardinal Roncalli paid a
courtesy call on Mayor Arman
do Gavagnin in his offices at
the city hall of Venice. With the
mayor to receive the Cardinal
was the city council, including
socialist and communist mem
bers.
Praising them for working
for the common good and the
administration of the city, The
Patriarch after noting that
there were “several here who
are not called Christians,” ex
tended his blessing to all with
out distinction.
It was with such gestures of
good will that Cardinal Ron
calli settled down to Venice.
From what he was later to say
and do, it is obvious that he ex
pected to see his days there.
Everything seemed to indicate
that he was setting his house in
order for the man who was to
follow him. He remodeled the
crypt beneath St. Mark’s and
brought back the bodies of for
mer patriarchs from the ceme
tery island of San Michele and
placed them there. Among the
tombs one was left empty and
unmarked. He intended it for
himself.
Shortly after his arrival in
Venice, he undertook a series of
lectures on the unity of the
Church. For more than 20 years
he had worked for this unity
with words and deeds, easing
tension between Catholics and
separated Eastern Christians.
After the second lecture one
of his sisters died. Editor Piet
ragnoli suggested he cancel the
lectures but the Cardinal re-

uled talks. At the conclusion of
the last one he himself announc
ed her death and asked prayers
for her soul.
The first Christmas in Venice,
Cardinal Roncalli was drawn to
Eugenio Bacchion, President of
the Men’s Catholic Action in
Venice, who was mourning the
death of his wife.
“Tomorrow is Christmas,”
said the Cardinal. “It will be
your first Christmas with an
empty place in your home . . .
would you come tomorrow with
your children and have Christ
mas dinner with me?”
'A MODERN POPE'
The Patriarch liked to walk
through the streets of Venice,
simply clad in a black cassock,
topcoat and clerical hat, and
talk to his people in a neighbor
ly way as though he were the
village curate in Sotto il Monte.
He owned no gondola of his
own and used either a motor-
boat borrowed from the Venice
Police or the public means of
transportation.
Despite the fact that the mo
torboat is competition for the
older, more graceful gondola
and noisily churns the peaceful
waters of the canals, a Venetian
gondolier, at the time of Pope
John’s election, proudly declar
ed:
“He will be a modern' Pope.
He never used a gondola — al
ways a motorboat.”

from the problems he faced
when Nuncio in Istanbul or Pa
ris, the city presented many op
portunities to Angelo Roncalli
in which he demonstrated his
skill as an administrator, dip
lomat and priest.
The scope of his activities in
Venice in itself needs a chapter
to cover it even briefly. For
Cardinal Angelo Roncalli was
not a man to rest on his laurels,
to end his days quietly in the
warm sun along the Venice la
goon.
