A different type of participant dropped in on Pope Francis’ general audience at the Vatican on Wednesday - Spider-Man.

週三教宗方濟各的公開接見活動上，有一種不同類型的參與者突然造訪：蜘蛛人。

A man dressed in a full, skin-tight, red, black and blue costume of the comic book and film character - including head cover - sat in the VIP section of the audience in Vatican’s San Damaso Courtyard.

一名穿著這個漫畫和電影角色全套緊身紅黑藍相間服裝——包括頭套——的男子，坐在梵蒂岡聖達瑪索庭院的接見貴賓區。

He sat quietly next to a priest dressed in black who appeared to be unperturbed by the colorful character with big white eyes in the next seat.

他安靜坐在一名黑衣牧師旁，後者似乎不受鄰座這位有著白色大眼睛的多彩角色干擾。

The man behind the mask turned out to be Mattia Villardita, 27, from northern Italy. He was given a place in the VIP section because of his work dressing up in superhero costumes and visiting sick children in hospitals.

面罩底下的男子，原來是來自義大利北部的27歲馬蒂亞．維拉迪塔。他在貴賓區取得一席之地，因他安排穿著超級英雄服裝拜訪醫院病童。

At the end of the audience, he was introduced to the pope and gave the pontiff a Spider-Man mask.

接見尾聲，他被帶向教宗，給了教宗一個蜘蛛人面罩。
