The Holy See Press Office Bulletin discloses that Pope Leo XIV has accepted the resignation from the pastoral governance of the Diocese of Alessandria presented by Bishop Guido Gallese, and has appointed Bishop Luigi Testore, Bishop of Acqui, as apostolic administrator of the same diocese. In an interview, Bishop Gallese explained that he was leaving the post "out of love and respect for this Church," adding that "it is time to turn the page."
