Who was the last pope to die?

Answer 1

The last married pope was Pope Adrian II (867-872). There have been 39 legitimate popes who were married, starting with St. Peter. There has even been one pope whose son later also became a pope. Pope Hormisdas (514-523) was the proud father of Pope Silverius (536-538).

Answer 2

The last Italian pope so far was Pope John Paul I.

Born Albino Luciani in Bellunom, Italy in 1912, he was elected pope on 26 August, 1978. He reigned for only 33 days before dying on 28 September, 1978 - one of the shortest pontificates in history.
