(Reuters) - The tiny black Fiat 500L that ferried Pope Francis to the White House and Congress during his historic first visit to the United States will be auctioned in Philadelphia next week, officials said on Wednesday.
The car, which the 79-year-old Pontiff chose as a symbol of his concern for the environment and desire to put aside some of the rich trappings long associated with his office, will be auctioned off on Jan. 29, said organizers of last year's World Meeting of Families in Philadelphia.
