Homeless man's death caught the Pope's attention. Now his likeness is on display at the Vatican

In 2018, German artist Michael Triegel asked a homeless man in Rome to pose for a drawing, thinking that he would make an ideal model for St. Peter if he ever needed to paint the first pope. Seven years on, the man’s likeness has gone on display in the Vatican, a stone’s throw from his grave, in a reunion of sorts that came about by improbable chance. (AP video by Silvia Stellacci
