Italian term or phrase: assunzione a pontefice

I know what it means, the moment in which a new pope is "made", but I'm not sure of the correct term in English. The sentence is as follows:

"L'assunzione a Pontefice del Cardinale Ratti è raffiguarata da un fotomsalco del avvenimento molto significativo..."

Thanks for any suggestions.

I just wanted to add that I believe the italian text refers to "assunzione " as the ceremony of coronation, event that is represented on a....I don't understand the other word: is it fotomosaico? Assunzione can also mean "assumption" "ascent" but Wikipedia convinced me that the name for the ceremony is "Coronation"

Asker: Yes, thanks very much.

ascent to the papacy

Explanation:
The key point about this term is that the Italian Googles zero. This author is the only person using the term. And if we add the definite article "assunzione al pontefice" it only gets six hits.

papal election/papal coronation

Explanation:
Bisognerebbe sapere se quì ci si riferisca all'immagine dell'elezione a pontefice del papa da parte dei cardinali o della sua effettiva incoronazione .
Nel primo caso si tratta di questo:

Habemus Papam!
Once a Cardinal has received the required number of votes, the Dean of the College of Cardinals asks him if he accepts election and by what name he wishes to be called as Pope. On giving assent, the Cardinal immediately becomes Pontifex Maximus, the Holy Roman Pontiff. In the unlikely event that the Cardinal chosen is not yet a bishop, the most senior Cardinal present (the Dean or Sub-Dean usually) immediately performs the ceremony to consecrate the new Pope as a bishop.

The Cardinals then pledge their obedience to His Holiness in turn. The Pope vests in his Pontifical clericals (white soutane and skull cap) -- the Italian family business in Rome that makes all the Papal vestments has several different sizes prepared in readiness for His Holiness, no matter what his shape or size!

The Proto-Deacon of the College of Cardinals (currently Cardinal Medina Estevez) then steps onto the main balcony of the Vatican and declares to the World: "Habemus Papam!" "We have a Pope!" and tells the waiting world who has been chosen as the new pope and the name he has decided to take as Pope. His Holiness then appears on the Balcony and delivers his Apostolic Blessing to the city of Rome and to the World.

In questo caso tradurremmo PAPAL ELECTION
come equivalente di assunzione al pontificato e elezione al soglio pontificio

http://www.palazzochigiariccia.it/english/ariccia/monuments....

Se, invece, si tratta della cerimonia di incoronazione del Papa allora:

One of the few things Pope John Paul I managed to do in his short papacy was to abolish the traditional Papal Coronation, which Pope John Paul II did not resurrect. Traditionally, the Pope would be carried around St Peter's Square on the Sedia Gestatoria (the Papal Throne) and have the Papal Tiara placed on his head. These last two popes have done away with the monarchic symbolism of the papacy (including the use of the Royal "we") in favour of a heightened concentration of their role as "Servus Servorum Dei" -- Servant of the servants of God. It remains to be seen whether a future Pope restores some form of papal coronation ceremony, even if it does not involve a full return to some of the earlier monarchic rituals.

In questo caso do l'agree a maryro per PAPAL CORONATION.

Asker: Hi Olga, many thanks for the links and all the information. The document refers to the actual coronation, but to be fair another answerer had already given that answer.
