The Archdiocese of Milan announces that Pope Leo XIV has accepted – “with the nunc pro tunc formula” – the resignation submitted by Archbishop Mario Delpini, who turned 75 on 29 July 2026 as required by can. 401 §1, extending his mandate as Archbishop of Milan by one year. The decision was communicated in a letter from the Apostolic Nuncio to Italy, Archbishop Edgar Peña Parra: after July 2027 the Nunciature will begin the customary process to provide for the Ambrosian see, while Delpini will remain in office until his successor is announced.
