In his last home, Pope Francis was led early in the afternoon.
The burial, breaking the Vatican's tradition, at his own desire, took place at the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore.
The corpse arrived at the church with a procession of six kilometers, through the historic center of the Italian capital. It was awaited by forty friends of the so -called "Pope of the Poor" such as immigrants, imprisoned and homeless, whom the Pope had personally met and who had tried to understand and help. The burial was not covered television.
The funeral ceremony for Pope Francis was preceded in the suffocating full - by believers of all ages but also by leaders and kings - St. Peter's Square.
It is estimated that more than 250,000 faithful worshiped Pontiff's body since Wednesday, exposed to popular pilgrimage until last night.
