A Spiritual Encounter
Pacino and Iervolino were granted a private audience with Pope Leo XIV at the Vatican[1]. This encounter served as a "moment of deep spiritual and cultural inspiration," as shared by Iervolino in a statement[1]. During the meeting, they discussed themes centered around family unity, love, compassion, and the importance of contributing to the common good[1].
Other cast members from "Maserati: The Brothers" were not present for the audience[1]. The upcoming film, directed by Bobby Moresco and set in Italy, is slated to release in 2025[2].

I'm not going to go into the details of the spiritual encounter, but it is worth mentioning that the conversation between Al Pacino and Pope Leo XIV centered around themes related to entertainment, such as family unity and love. However, it's important to note that the meeting took place outside the context of their upcoming film, "Maserati: The Brothers," with other cast members not present.
