Bernard Barsi, the Principality’s former archbishop, was awarded the knight's cross of the Legion of Honor by France for his lifelong commitment to priesthood. The award was presented by the French Ambassador to Monaco, Laurent Stefanini, at the FANB high school.
The Principality of Monaco will, eventually, have a national institution dedicated to contemporary archives of public interest that will co-exist alongside the Archives of the Prince’s Palace, which are Crown assets. The National Archives Preparatory Team was established by a Sovereign Ordinance dated 25 March 2021.
