The Libro d'Oro is a directory published in Italian. It lists the new pontifical knights. Unofficial and semi-official publications of this type have existed for centuries. There is not an official directory of knights, and the Vatican does not publish an official directory of men and women recognized with Pontifical titles, ranks, or other honours. The Libro d'Oro provides a current directory of knights and preserves this historical information for posterity. Data is de-rived from various sources, including public records, news media, documents of the Holy See, and recommendations of Cardinals, Bishops, Grand Masters, and clergy. Special Listings are supported by donations as appropriate.
