Sara Bartoli is better known as the "Angel Baby Who Protected the Pope". On May 13, 1981 Mehmet Ali Ağca shot John Paul II as he entered Saint Peter's Square. It would be later revealed that the shooter held off the shot when he saw the Pope hold baby Sara in the air. Mehmet would wait until the baby was safe. Sara was 18 months old at the time and in a blue dress.

At the time of John Paul II's death on April 2, 2005, Sara was a 25 year old mother-to-be living in Lariano, Italy.

John Paul II then went on to buy the Pope Mobil (in a clear attempt to be as cool as Batman in his BatMobile).
