Louis Veuillot, the ultramontane editor of the L'Univers newspaper and one of the Pope's staunchest defenders, reported after meeting Edgardo in Rome that the boy had told him "that he loves his father and his mother, and that he will go to live with them when he is older ... so that he can speak to them of Saint Peter, of God, and of the most Holy Mary."
Louis Veuillot, penyunting ultramontane dari surat kabar L'Univers dan salah satu pembela terkuat dari Sri Paus, dikabarkan setelah bertemu Edgardo di Roma, bocah tersebut berkata kepadanya "bahwa ia mengasihi ibu bapanya, dan bahwa ia akan tinggal dengan mereka saat sudah besar ... sehingga ia dapat berkata kepada mereka tentang Santo Petrus, Allah dan Maria paling Kudus."
