Cappello romano
A cappello romano (literally Roman hat) or saturno (because it is reminiscent of the ringed planet
Saturn) is a hat with a wide, circular brim and a rounded rim worn by
Catholic clergy. It is made of either
beaver fur or
felt, and lined in white
silk. Unlike many other articles of ecclesiastical attire, it serves no ceremonial purpose, being primarily a practical item, worn in private life. (The
galero is a ceremonial wide brim hat no longer worn.) The wearing of a cappello romano is optional, but it is never worn during services. It is generally uncommon outside of
Rome today, though it was quite popular in other countries with a Catholic majority population from the
17th century until around
1970.
