Read about the good old days in the Vatican here:
With Latin in the Service of the Popes: the Memoirs of Antonio Cardinal Bacci (1885 - 1971).
Con il Latino a Servizio di Quattro Pappi (Editrice Studium, 1964).
His reminiscences of his time as Secretary of Letters ad Principes and his impassioned defense of Latin in life and school is a must read.
Hello, could you please suggest where can I find this book, either in paper or electronic form? (I'd prefer English version, because my Italian is much more limited.) Amazon doesn't seem to know about it.
