Conclave’s first vote, a secret process for choosing a new pope, could not reach the decision.
After a long waiting, black smoke came out of the chimney of the cystine chapel around 9 pm local time. In other words, 133 Cardinals inside could not choose a new fontif.
In St. Peter’s Square, tens of thousands of people gathered and took more than two hours for the first voting of Conclave.
Cardinals will return to the closed door cystine chapel for more votes tomorrow.
The BBC’s Laura Gozzi was with the crowds waiting in the Vatican City all day.
