Flash mob in Italian jail pays tribute to Pope Francis
Female detainees in Rome’s Rebibbia penitentiary dedicated a flash mob to Pope Francis. Under the slogan “Pope is Pop”, the women performed a zumba-style routine of spins, funky steps and arm swings to “Pope is Pop”, a song written about the pontiff by Italian composer Igor Nogarotto. Some 50 women of all kinds of nationalities – Albanian, American, Armenian, Bosnian, Bulgarian, Brazilian, Canadian, Chilean, Filipino, Italian, Liberian, Nigerian, South American, Tanzanian – and especially of different religion Catholic, Orthodox, Muslim, Buddhist (and atheist) dance together for the Pope, in the first flash mob history in an Italian prison
“I am not religious” said Igor Nogarotto, “but this pope has an amazing charisma. He is humble and close to the people and he doesn’t conform to stereotype“

“This Pope is of all of us and with all of us” said a muslim inmate
Inmates are united in a demonstration to achieve a Pope, a sign that the peaceful coexistence of different ethnic groups and different religious faith not a utopia, but it can be realized and this flash mob is the the first concrete sign that this can happen, in the spirit of what professes Pope Francis, both from the pulpit of St. Peter and in his speeches in his travels around the world, as happened in the recent trip to the United States and Cuba
