The event took place at the Palazzo Brancaccio in Rome, bringing together European nobles, politicians, and American Catholic power brokers. Notable attendees included Brian Burch, President Trump's nominee for ambassador to the Holy See, and Princess Gloria von Thurn und Taxis, known for her friendship with Justice Samuel Alito.
A central theme was the 'urgency of protecting the family,' referencing concerns over low birthrates and advocating for pronatalist policies. Antonio Giordano, an Italian parliament member, emphasized the need for collective action to combat demographic decline.
The lavish setting, featuring a grand hall of mirrors and gilded ballroom, underscored the opulence and influence of the attendees. The event's timing, just days before a conclave, highlights the potential impact of conservative voices within the Catholic Church.
