Anonymous graffiti in Borgo Pio district

A graffiti image of Pope Francis as superhero - flying through the air with his white cape billowing behind him which has appeared on a wall in the Borgo Pio district of Rome near St Peters, has been tweeted by the Vatican.

Speeding forwards with his fist raised, the heroic pontiff – crucifix swinging in the wind – carries his trademark black bag, with the word 'values' written across it, in Spanish, in white letters.

"We share with you a graffiti found in a Roman street near the Vatican," the Pontifical Council for Social Communications from the Holy See said on its official Twitter page.

Since the tweet, several more images have appeared across Rome.

Pope Francis is a keen Twitter user himself, regularly posting tweets on his own feeds in nine languages, which boast more than 10 million followers in total.

His message this afternoon reads: 'I cannot imagine a Christian who does not know how to smile. May we joyfully witness to our faith.'
