Ricordando Tanfani e Bertarelli: Gran Bei Paramenti!

Papal tailoring and also goldsmiths - Via Santa Chiara, 39.  Sadly, now closed.  Any Italians want to re-start this historic sartoria pontificia?

  1. So sad... these great artist are of "no use" under the current administration where simplicity is glorified in the name of humility.

  3. A pity it closed. As did so many others. There were SO many priests in Europe before the collapse.

  4. I have a wonderful cappello romano worn by Jean-Marie-Rodrigue Cardinal Villeneuve. It was made by Tanfani & Bertarelli, Roma.

    Look at these wonderful ancient leaflets from Spanish hat makers, too.
