Lentorama 2013: There's a Name for That
Day 26: saturno
Also called a capello romano (Roman hat), this is a wide-brimmed hat similar in look to the galero, but without the braids and other frippery (though the pope's has gold braids). Unlike most vestments there's no liturgical history behind it. It's just a hat that clergy started to wear and occasionally still do. The pope's is scarlet, everyone else's is black. The saturno name comes from it looking like the planet Saturn (the crown being the planet and the brim a ring).
