The Conclave to elect a new pope has begun, and black smoke rose from the chimney of the Sistine Chapel, signaling that a new Pontiff had not been elected following the first vote. The 133 cardinal electors gathered to pray and vote, each sworn to secrecy. The process will continue in the coming days, and the white smoke will announce the election of a new pope, who will be publicly unveiled with the formula 'Habemus Papam'.
