Pope Francis official Zucchetto papal skullcap hat by Vatican tailor
The authentic Zucchetto that His Holiness Pope Francis wears. Zucchetto is the typical papal skullcap, in white watered pure silk, with finest leather lining, handmade produced exclusively by the historical papal tailor Gammarelli in Rome, Italy. The Gammarelli family has been the personal tailors of the Popes since 1798. There is a very old Vatican tradition in which, if you have the white papal Zucchetto, you can hold it up during a papal audience and the Pope, or the Swiss Guards, will swap yours for the one the Pope is wearing. Pope Francis (like in the past Pope John Paul II) frequently swaps his zucchetto with people attending to the general audience in Saint Peter’s Square or during a pastoral journey abroad. This zucchetto is new, never worn, in perfect condition, customized and tailored to the Pope, with the original elegant case covered in silk and the packing paper of the tailor, really a rare and unique item, lifetime guaranteed.
The item will be shipped from Rome, the Eternal City, the Heart of Christianity. Standard registered airmail shipping is 18 USD.
