ROME, ITALY - DECEMBER 08: Mayor of Rome Ignazio Marino attends the Immaculate Conception celebration held by Pope Francis at Spanish Steps on December 8, 2014 in Rome, Italy. Pope Francis celebrated the Feast of the Immaculate Conception by travelling to Spanish Steps where he venerated the statue named for the Marian Feast.
