Writing in december of 1515, regarding a visit of leo x to the city of bologna, the papal mc notesthe clergy did not come to meet the pope at the gate of the city, though the cardinal was there to offer him the cross to kiss but no cross had been brought, and a simple rude one was fetched from some parish church close by, which the pope kissed, though with a smile on his face. Two canopies were brought, things at the sight of which the cardinals (there were twenty present) laughed outright. The one for the blessed sacraemnt was of serge, the one for the pope was of a common stuff, old and worn, and covered with stains.
To offer such a thing to the pope was not only ridiculous but infamous. I said to the pope that it was nothing short of criminal, and that all the cardinals were most indignant. But the pope took it very quietly, and only ordered an equerry to give a canopy of silk and gold for the blessed sacrament, and said that, as for himself, he had no need of one.

On which i remarked to the pope that the citizens of bologna really shewed little respect for his dignity. But the pope did not seem to mind in the least, and smiled ever and anon at it all.
