Pius XI
Pius XI, born Achille Ratti, was Pope from 1922 until his death in 1939. He is best known for his role in the signing of the Lateran Treaty in 1929, which resolved the longstanding conflict between the Papacy and the Italian state, establishing Vatican City as an independent sovereign entity. His papacy focused on addressing modern issues facing the Church, promoting social justice, and countering the rise of totalitarian regimes in Europe.
