L'Osservatore Romano (Italian: [losservaˈtoːre roˈmaːno]; English: "The Roman Observer") is the daily newspaper of Vatican City State which reports on the activities of the Holy See and events taking place in the Catholic Church and the world.[1][2] It is owned by the Holy See but is not an official publication, a role reserved for the Acta Apostolicae Sedis, which acts as a government gazette.[3][4][2] The views expressed in the Osservatore are those of individual authors unless they appear under the specific titles "Nostre Informazioni" or "Santa Sede".[5][6]

Available in nine languages, the paper prints two Latin mottos under the masthead of each edition: Unicuique suum ('To each his own') and Non praevalebunt ('[The gates of Hell] shall not prevail').[a] The current editor-in-chief is Andrea Monda.
