...obvious that Borgo Tranquillo is different from the typical Italian country getaway from the moment the artfully rusted gate glides open onto a winding white-gravel driveway. It's the awesome, modern infinity pool that makes an immediate impression: a huge pale oblong of water, framed at one end by lavender bushes and olive trees. The view beyond takes in undulating fields, woods, hilltop churches and the distant peaks of the Appennines. Beside the pool is an ultra-contemporary pavilion with weathered-steel spiral staircase, leather sofas, library, espresso and ice machines, sauna and steam room. (See 10 things...

...though, there's just one "papal" transition to worry about. The delegates will do their voting inside the Jesuits' vast, marble-lined headquarters on Borgo Santo Spirito. Doors closed, no outsiders allowed in. When one man has received the necessary majority, rather than white smoke, we'll know there is a new "black pope" by the sound of applause through the wooden doors of the Jesuit sala. As for revealing the new Superior General's identity to the world: before the delegates are allowed to leave the voting hall, a lone messenger will take the short walk over...
