In the beginning, it was called “Annona e Grascia”, and it functioned as a tribunal within the papal administration, responsible for overseeing matters related to food supplies.
On January 22, 1588, Pope Sixtus V, through the Bull Immensa Aeterni Dei, established fifteen permanent Congregations—some newly created, others confirmed or reformed.

It consisted of five Cardinals and was tasked with ensuring the provisioning of foodstuffs.
The floral emblem of Pope Leo XIV has been completed in the Vatican Gardens, located on the upward slope from the apse of St. Peter's Basilica, right in front of the Governorate building.
Hundreds of colored plants, like so many mosaic pieces, have made a beautiful work of floral art possible. Like the previous emblems, it will be admired every year by thousands of people from an exceptional observation point: the top of the dome of St. Peter's Basilica.
The Garden and Environment Service of the Governorate of Vatican City State has prepared and installed the floral decoration that adorns the Holy Door. With great skill and passion, eight members of staff decorated the famous Door, through which millions of pilgrims will walk, in the course of the Holy Year.
The Bodies of Government have donated cymbals and a bass drum to the Musical Band of the Gendarmerie Corps as a token of recognition for their generous dedication to spreading the beauty of music throughout the world.
